Get the measure

This book explores many aspects of measurement from the size of an atom or how to calculate a country's coastline to finding out the speed limit of the universe or how a computer tells the time. It explores all the different measures we use for lengths, areas, volumes and speeds, and shows the reader how to calculate them.

The book is part of the 'Maths is everywhere' series, which demystifies all aspects of maths and shows how it relates to everyday world colourful graphics. These are fantastic books for children aged nine plus who are studying maths, or for anyone who wants to get to grips with maths in a fun way.
