Synopsis

All of the sciences―physical, biological, and social―have a need for quantitative measurement. This influential series, Foundations of Measurement, established the formal foundations for measurement, justifying the assignment of numbers to objects in terms of their structural correspondence.
Volume I introduces the distinct mathematical results that serve to formulate numerical representations of qualitative structures. Volume II extends the subject in the direction of geometrical, threshold, and probabilistic representations, and Volume III examines representation as expressed in axiomatization and invariance.

Review:

This serious volume lends a timely legitimacy and maturity to the enriched classes of models that are being developed by the methodologists, but which will be increasingly employed by members of the broader psychological measurement community.
--APPLIED PSYCHOLOGICAL MEASUREMENT
[The following quote should be used only when advertising both volumes II and III together]
The monumental finished work of more than 1,400 pages (volumes I, II, and III) is a tribute to its authors' perserverance as well as being a cornucopia of measurement theory.
