capítulo por capítulo baixar The Measure of Everything: From Barleycorns to Quantum Constants

Who decided how long a metre is?
Why were barley grains once used to measure length?
And how did we move from body parts to quantum physics?

The Measure of Everything reveals the extraordinary story of how humanity learned to weigh, count and define reality.

From ancient marketplaces to modern laboratories, measurement has shaped trade, science, technology and civilisation itself. What began with hands and harvests evolved into global standards and quantum constants — transforming how we build, navigate and understand the universe.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• The surprising origins of everyday units
• How standardisation reshaped global trade
• Why the metric system changed the modern world
• How modern physics redefined precision
• What measurement reveals about power and progress

Clear, engaging and thought-provoking, this book turns an overlooked subject into a compelling exploration of humanity’s search for order.

Discover the story behind the numbers — and see the world differently.
