From the reviews:
“Written by scientists from Germany’s national metrology institute, the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, and employees of Mettler-Toledo International, this dictionary features definitions for more than 1,000 terms related to weight and mass, along with hundreds of full-color photographs, illustrations, and diagrams. It fills a useful niche, as no dictionaries of this type have been published recently. … In this volume, most definitions are clear, concise, and easily understandable by nonscientists. … References are included … . Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners.” (J. A. Murphy, Choice, Vol. 47 (11), July, 2010)Authors and Affiliations
