The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World
by Simon Winchester
I loved this book. I listened to it during my daily commute for work and enjoyed all of it. It answered questions I had like how do we know that a measuring instrument itself is accurate? What is the greatest thing by which we can measure all others?
I highly recommend this book to students, tinkerers, historians, teachers, and those who simply enjoy good storytelling. Winchester has a way of humanizing topics that would normally put most folks out cold and he makes the topics relevant and relatable. This was my first Winchester but it won’t be my last.
