The History of Time: A Very Short Introduction

Description

"Although the subject of this book is not politics or religion, I shall as occasion serves consider the political and religious implications in the choice of calendar, and the acceptance or rejection of reforms (e.g. the Gregorian calendar in Christendom, the ‘Shahänshahi’ era in Iran): even when the Government of India, in 1957, introduced a new secular calendar, it did not dare touch the multiplicity of religious calendars beyond substituting the synodic for the sidereal year. I shall also devote one chapter to a religious festival, the Christian Easter, not because of its religious significance but because of its calendrical complexity."
