520    France, 1791. Amid the political turmoil of the French 
       Revolution, another revolution is taking place, an 
       ambitious project to re-measure the Paris meridian, thus 
       determining the precise distance from the North Pole to 
       the Equator in order to calculate a new base unit of 
       length, the meter, establishing a rational system of 
       measurement based on nature that will unite all people of 
       all nations for all time. A young surveyor and would-be 
       savant sets out for Southern France, charged with 
       reconnoitering the ground ahead of the main expedition and
       drawing preliminary maps of poorly charted land near the 
       frontier with Spain. In the course of his travels, he 
       realizes people are rarely rational, and not everyone 
       wants to live in a savant's utopia. He also discovers love,
       rivalry, murder, and a sense of place as he pieces 
       together a map of life that will serve him for the rest of
       his days. The Measure of the World is a tale of adventure 
       and misadventure exploring how maps tell stories, charting
       physical and metaphysical ways through the world, defining
       who we think we are and what we value.
