A comprehensive reference to what is measured, how and why. Measurement is constantly all around us. It forms the foundations of science - the ohms and amps of physics and the moles and isotopes of chemistry - and shapes our every day. Our relationships with measurement start the moment we wake and check the day's temperature and continue until the precise second we go to sleep. But beyond the familiar measurements, hundreds more are listed in this entertaining and revealing reference. The me...
The word "nomogram," meaning the "law in graphical form," properly includes alignment diagrams, network charts, and many other graphical forms.

Field Guide to the Sedges of the Pacific Northwest
by Barbara Wilson, Richard Brainerd, Danna Lytjen, Bruce Newhouse, and Nick Otting
Sedges are key members of many Northwest ecosystems, performing critical roles in wetlands, prairies, savannas, steppes, and forests. They are often the dominant ground cover in flood plains, along stream banks, and in wet meadows and marshes. Their extensive, fibrous root systems prevent erosion by binding soils, while their dense foliage traps sediment, making them critical elements in the restoration of wetland and riparian systems. Field Guide to the Sedges of the Pacific Northwest is the fi...
