I paid my paperback copy GBP 29.15 from Amazon UK. Is that a correct, scientific, conversion?According to the Amazon web site the book is available for $54.95+S/H. Springer-Verlag is not the world's most inexpensive publisher! The paperback book is reported to have 550 pages in its second edition (1999). "This detailed guide is truly unique, giving accurate metric equivalents and conversion factors for no fewer than 10,000 scientific units with detailed descriptions of over 2,000. It covers the full gamut of science, technology and medicine, and deals with US, British, conventional metric, historic and SI units." The published reviews rave about it.
