關於本電子書

Metric System Birth explores the fascinating history of France's revolutionary effort to create a universal system of weights and measures. More than a simple conversion, this standardization represented a radical shift in how society quantified the world, deeply intertwined with the ideals of the Enlightenment and the fervor of the French Revolution. The book reveals that while the metric system aimed for rational precision, its implementation faced significant hurdles. For example, the surveying of the meridian arc, an essential step in defining the meter, encountered immense practical difficulties. The book delves into the scientific methodology championed by figures like Lavoisier, the political challenges of imposing a new system, and the social resistance from a population accustomed to traditional practices. The narrative progresses chronologically, beginning with the chaotic pre-metric landscape, examining the scientific groundwork, and culminating in an assessment of the metric system's long-term impact. This unique approach examines the metric system as a socio-political phenomenon, highlighting its impact on trade, governance, and national identity.
