myuan 's review for:
Exactly: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World
by Simon Winchester
The book exhibits a grand collection of human's pursuit of precision on various scale. I especially enjoyed reading the afterwords, and came to a surprising realisation that all units of measurements (length, mass, temperature etc.) depend on time, and perfecting the accuracy of a second is yet an example of human's relentless pursuit of precision.
The book however is a big hard to read for me, with a lot of technical words and very long sentence.
