Whatever Happened to the Metric System?: How America Became the Last Country on Earth to Keep Its Feet by John Bemelmans Marciano

4.0

Started off very interesting, but the author spent too little time in the modern era to really satisfy the ultimate question of why the US still isn't using the metric system. I get that some people "don't like it" and argued against switching, but I didn't see any concrete reasons why they didn't like it, and why US society as a whole didn't "take" to the attempted switch in the 70s and 80s.
