Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a unique investigation into the claims made by proponents of the metric system. The author, who has spent nearly twenty years researching weights and measures in industries and commerce around the world, presents irrefutable evidence that the system has never achieved wide…spread adoption in any country, even those which have made it compulsory. This is due to the difficulties in changing prevailing systems of measurement, which are deeply embedded in manufacturing, engineering, and everyday life. The author argues that continuing to promote the metric system is a waste of time and resources and that instead, we should focus on simplifying our own system of weights and measures. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of weights and measures and the challenges of implementing new systems. It is also an essential resource for policymakers and business leaders who are considering adopting the metric system. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
