Los calendarios y los relojes no existieron siempre, y tampoco los años, los meses, las horas, los minutos y los segundos se midieron igual que ahora. Cada pueblo tenía sus propios métodos para marcar el tiempo. Del mismo modo, el kilo y el metro son inventos modernos: el peso se medía con granos de cebada y la altura con brazos y dedos, y las unidades variaban mucho entre regiones. Este libro informativo explora la fascinante historia de cómo la humanidad aprendió a medir el tiempo, el peso y la distancia.

English Translation

Measurements Were Not Always Like This

Calendars and clocks haven't always existed, and years, months, hours, minutes, and seconds weren't always measured the way they are today. Every culture had its own way of tracking time and setting dates. Likewise, the kilogram and the meter are fairly modern inventions—weight was once measured with barley grains, height with arms and fingers, and units varied wildly from region to region. This engaging nonfiction book explores the fascinating history of how humans learned to measure time, weight, and distance.
