ISBN10: 1857027213, ISBN13: 9781857027211, [publisher: Fourth Estate] Softcover 360 pages. Measuring the daily and yearly cycle of the cosmos has never been entirely straightforward. The year 2000 is altern atively the year 2544 (Buddhist), 6236 (Ancient Egyptian), 5761 ( Jewish) or simply the Year of the Dragon (Chinese). The story of the creation of the Western calendar, which is related in this bo ok, is a story of emperors and popes, mathematicians and monks, a nd the growth of scientific calculation to the point where, bizar rely, our measurement of time by atomic pulses is now more accura te than time itself: the Earth is an elderly lady and slightly ec centric - she loses half a second a century. Days have been inven ted (Julius Caesar needed an extra 80 days in 46BC), lost (Pope G regory XIII ditched ten days in 1582) and moved (because Julius C aesar had 31 in his month, Augustus determined that he should hav e the same, so he pinched one from February).
