Review :
"The contributions come from both the editors and an impressive group of 16 well-respected standards experts. … Overall, and true to the goal of providing an introduction to standards and standardisation, the book covers an extremely wide range of topics. … [A] very good overview of the basics of standardisation." - Journal of the Operational Research Society "[This book] is clear enough and short enough to be a primer, but complete enough to be a useful reference for experienced professionals in the standards community. … [S]tudents in business management … should use this book as the core of a second-semester freshman course … . … In the last semester of the senior year, there should be another … course with this book as the core reference to illustrate what standards and standardization cannot accomplish. … The practicing loss control professional needs this book to prepare for the 'slings and arrows of outrageous fortune' that the standards writing bodies… are turning out … . … The articles included are of uniformly high quality … . This is a forceful, enlightened, intensive, theoretical and practical guide and follow-up to a vital but neglected discipline." - LUCE Information Services "The authors [are] both widely respected standards professionals in the US and internationally … . … Do the authors succeed in meeting their stated goal of providing us with a 'primer and review' of the subject matter at hand? The answer is a resounding 'Yes!' And they manage to reach every stated targeted audience mention in their Preface. … Spivak and Brenner have assembled many of the 'notables' in our profession and woven their … contributions into a seamless, easy flowing text." - Standards Engineering, May/June 2001 "…can serve as the foundation to any standards-based course being taught….should be on the shelf of every standards professional." - Standards Engineering "…comprehensive and scholarly…a benchmark publication … a valued reference guide." - Popular Plastics and Packaging "…comprehensive and scholarly…a benchmark publication that brings standardization into public visibility." -Colourage "…would serve as a valued reference guide by seasoned standards practitioners as well as those new to the field." -Chemical Business "…has the knack of putting technical jargon into plain English ... the topic is timely today." -San Juan Star "...This book allies theory and practice and brings the discipline to life, not only at a national level, but in a far wider international context. What is unusual about this book, apart from the very broad content, is its tone that makes it easy reading about a technical subject, with anecdotes and historical aside, cartoon, and plenty of examples." - ISO Bulletin, 2001
