Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. As global industries pivoted towards the metric system throughout the 20th century, the United States became the exception. This book provides a detailed investigation into the history of metric conversion in the US, exploring why it lagged compared to other developed nations. It examines crucial inquiries dating back to the 19th century and the impact of the 1975 Metric Conversion Act. The analysis of the impact of metrication on building and construction forms the backbone of the text, giving the reader an insight into the technical and historical context of the subject. The book not only traces the evolution of metrication in the US but also provides a comprehensive overview of international trends in the adoption of the metric system. The author's extensive research and analysis make this book an invaluable reference for anyone interested in the history of measurement standards, the US construction industry, and the challenges of global harmonization.
