The Morals of Measurement
Author: Graeme Gooday
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521430982
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
The Morals of Measurement is a contribution to the social histories of quantification and electrical technology in nineteenth-century Britain, Germany and France. It shows how the advent of commercial electrical lighting stimulated the industrialization of electrical measurement from a skilled labour-intensive activity to a mechanized practice. Challenging traditional accounts that focus on the metrological standards used in measurement, this book shows the central importance of trust when measurement was undertaken in an increasingly complex division of labour. Alongside ambiguities about the very nature of measurement and the respective responsibilities of humans and technologies in generating error-free numbers, the book also addresses controversies over the changing identity of the measurer through the themes of body, gender and authorship. The reader will gain fresh insights into a period when measurement was widely treated as the definitive means of gaining knowledge of the world.

Book Description
First Published in 1990. This volume starts with an introduction to the first works on business history since 1924 looking at the work of Francis Hyde in Liverpool and Harvard. This is a collection of articles reprinted from the first 25 year of the journal 'Business History' which was bi-annually available until in 1981 when it increased to three issues.
