Book Synopsis The Bureau of Weights and Measures by : Anne-Gaëlle Balpe
Book excerpt: The Bureau of Weights and Measures is an amazing place. It's where everything in the world is measured to make sure it is the right size, weight, temperature and so on. The engineer Marcel Gramme does this important work. One day, Marcel's son returns home with something he can't measure - his mood. There's only one thing for it: they'll have to invent a new machine to measure it! Brought to life by Vincent Mahe's ingenious retro illustrations, this is a celebration of science and invention which also suggests there are still some things science can't measure.
