Rating: 4 stars
Summary: SI (United States) measuring system
Review: Breaks SI system into basic concepts (length, area, volume, mass, etc.) for easier understanding. Very helpful for those who grew up using inch-pound units by default and want to learn and use the SI system correctly.

Indexed, easy to look up and grasp concepts. Good visuals (length, area, volume, mass, temperature, etc.) Since SI is the only legal US measuring system since 1866 and is reinforced by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, since all federal agencies are mandated to use SI units since October 1992 and because K-12 and university teachers are expected to teach to standards - this is the book to keep close at hand.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best I've Found Yet
Review: For some time now I have been looking for a book to assist my students in learning the Metric System; however, I have found most of the texts to be overly technical in terminology or lacking the direct approach in this book. Good work :)
