This fascinating book draws together a wealth of diverse material on the muchtrusted (and rarely disputed) phenomenon we know as the calendar. From the fundamentals of astronomy to the world's ancient timekeeping schemes, to the development of the modernday calendar, to the precise calculation of when specific dates occur (as in how one arrives at the date for Easter Sunday), this is a skillful yet approachable discussion of the calendar from both the historical and contemporary perspectives. Readers will even learn how to perform experiments and calculations for themselves by using such basic techniques as stargazing and simple mathematics.
