Though mostly known as a specialist on licensing exam preparation, Lindeburg also keeps this conversion reference up to date. The previous edition appeared five years ago, and this one is now in its fourth corrected printing. The tables of conversion are in three columns titled Multiply, By, To Obtain. The first names the original unit, the middle one a quantity to multiply by, and the third the unit desired; most original units are converted into several final units. The arrangement is alphabetical by original unit, with no cross-references or index. A battery of short appendices however provide information on temperature conversion, the elements, fundamental and derived constants, astronomical data, the Greek alphabet, SI and binary prefixes, decimal equivalents of fractions, and unofficial and humorous units and abbreviations (billigram = weight of an evangelist).
