Some fundamental concepts of units, dimensions, and physical measurements are discussed, and illustrations of the misunderstandings that exist in the literature concerning these concepts are given. The differences between measure and physical equations are outlined, and a simple example is considered. The choice of how many and which units to use as basic is shown to be completely arbitrary, and the choice is usually made to produce maximum accuracy and convenience. Various mechanical, thermal, and electrical systems of units in common use today are presented, and an engineering (ft-lbf-ampsec) system is developed to describe electromagnetic problems. The history of some important physical units is traced, and the latest definitions of these units are used to obtain convenient conversion tables for various physical quantities.

Scott's affordable cataloging tool has been updated and improved! The book is now arranged into three sections; LC to Dewey, Dewey to LC, and LC subject headings to both. More than a conversion tool between LC and Dewey classifications, the book can also be used in call number assignment (using LC subject headings, which replace the descriptors of the first edition). In addition, subjects are addressed in greater detail and the text has been updated for the new edition of DDC.
