ISBN10: 0471404217, ISBN13: 9780471404217, [publisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd, United States, New York] Softcover For the new millennium, this is a timely history of time. For all the talk of the millennium, one would think the calendar was an established fact of science, as irrefutable as the atomic weight of hydrogen. But as this book points out, the calendar is an evolving invention of our struggle to measure time. Marking Time reveals the surprising story of how the modern-day calendar came about and how it has changed dramatically through the years. From the definition of the lunar month by Meton of Athens in 432 B.C. to the roles played by Julius Caesar, William the Conqueror, and Isaac Newton to present-day proposals to reform our calendar, this fascinating read also features timely tidbits. For example, New Year's wasn't always celebrated on January 1 - the ball has also dropped on March 1, March 25, September 1, and December 25. And the year 2000 A.D. almost certainly has already happened, as the birth of Christ most likely occurred five years earlier than the current calendar marks it. Duncan Steel (Adelaide, Australia) is the author of Rogue Asteroids and Doomsday Comets. He is a research astronomer at the Spaceguard Australia observation project and a specialist on astronomical timekeeping. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. [Goring-By ...
