Publisher's Synopsis

The calendar is an indispensable tool for civilized life, allowing people to order the past, present and future and to record events. Many cultures developed independent calendar systems, including the ancient Greeks, Romans and Chinese, and the Maya and Aztecs. The modern western calendar, accepted today as the global standard, is the fruit of a long and tumultuous history.
