SUMMARY
"The trick in writing this kind of cultural history of science is to find a theme that interestingly links the inner and the outer, and in this book it is 'precision' - the impulse variously to quantify, to measure more precisely, and to refine the standards on which measurement is based - that is identified as an important element in both science and life in general form the eighteenth century onwards."Wise, M. Norton is the author of 'Values of Precision', published 1997 under ISBN 9780691016016 and ISBN 0691016011.
