URL: http://www.cleavebooks.co.uk/dictunit/

Description:
"This dictionary provides an account of the principal units of measurement to be found in use around the world today, and the conversion factors often needed to change them into 'standard' units of the SI [International System of Units] system." Discusses conversions from one system to another and defines the systems themselves. Also includes calculators, a downloadable pocket guide, and a FAQ. From a retired mathematics professor and author.
