This book will appeal to those who are fascinated by the mechanisms that shape the world around us, specifically in relation to a commonly overlooked yet pervasive tool - the weighing scale. While this book covers the history of weighing scales, it is far from dry and academic. Instead, the author has woven a narrative rich with the colour and vibrancy of the times. For instance, the conflict between the Danish auncel and the scales of the Lombard merchants, which is presented in detail. The book also reflects on the societal context of weighing scales - the struggles between different factions over the right to control and regulate the weighing process, and the impact of these disputes on the development of trade.
