How many? A dictionary of units of measurement 
Rowlett, R 
2018 
English 
This dictionary includes:
-all the units of the International System of Units (SI);
-many other units of the metric system used in everyday life or in science, either currently or recently;
-various non-metric scientific units such as the astronomical unit, the electronvolt, and the parsec;
-all the units of the English traditional systems I've encountered that can be defined with reasonable precision;
-selected traditional units from cultures other than English; and
-certain measurement terms and notations that are not "units of measurement" in a strict sense, but which are used much as if they were.
