Description

Explore the history of American scientific measurement with this comprehensive volume from CRC Press. This book commemorates the centennial anniversary of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), which is now known as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Established by Congress in 1901, the organization has served as the long-standing custodian and disseminator of the United States' standards for physical measurement. This text provides a detailed look at the seminal contributions made to science and technology over its first hundred years. Through 102 specific vignettes, readers can learn about the context and history behind many of the Institute's classic publications. It is an essential resource for those interested in the evolution of measurement standards and the historical milestones that shaped modern scientific practices in the United States.
