The Measure of the Universe : Our Foremost Science Writer Looks at the World Large and Small

About this book

The author describes concepts of measurement as related to such areas as speed length mass and volume. Goodreads reviewer - "It was a long time ago that I read this but I remember loving it. Asimov starts from everyday objects and then goes by orders of magniture to larger and larger objects and then down to smaller and smaller objects. As I remember he does the same thing with temperatures and speeds and maybe some other quantities."
