I found the English version a bit weird, and hard to understand at the beginning. Anyway the author had written it in a fancy and funny way, that made this book worth to read. <br/> <br/>Measuring the World is a historical fiction about German scientists Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Friedrich Gauss. <br/> <br/>The book narated about the life and adventure of each of them, how Humboldt had his knowledge through exploring the world, meanwhile Gauss the genius didn't have to go out of his home. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/425971?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
