Megalithic Measurements
by Simon at 00:56 27/01/06 (Blogs::Simon)
Needing something to read on the plane on the way back from the US recently, I picked up a copy of Civilization One from Books-a-million in Fort Myers.

It's an investigation into the fundamental basis of measuring systems in use both now and in the past.

I've not finished it yet, but so far it's fascinating.

There's a very handy synopsis at:

(seems to require Flash, I'm afraid)

Here's a link to the review page, which at least is plain HTML.

Cheers
