Review

"Gooday has produced a detailed and nuanced account of late-Victorian measurement that makes quite clear how the culture of metrology was deeply embedded in Victorian culture. His skillful tracings of the netwroks of physicists, engineers, instrument makers, and consumers through which reliable, robust, and trustworthy instruments and measurements were achieved make clear just how complex and culture-laden a business measurement is." - Iwan Rhys Morus, University of Wales, Aberystwyth

Book Description

The Morals of Measurement is about the development of techniques for measuring electricity in the late nineteenth century. It explores how difficult and controversial this was, in relation both to the work of engineers and the first domestic consumers of electrical lighting. It looks at the role of Lord Kelvin and his contemporaries and how they developed new instruments and new understandings of measurement.
