Calendar Reform Ideas for the 21st Century: New calendars that could change the way we mark time by Stephen Abbott. This thought-provoking book - offered for the first time anywhere through Abbott ePublishing - investigates several unique and possibly greatly improved calendar ideas that could change the way we think about calendars. Excerpt: "The story of [our] calendar is the story of reforms, because ancient men were constantly learning more and more about the world in which they lived, and learned that the accurate marking of days is vitally important to a well-functioning society. How those days are marked, and whether it fits society’s needs, is critical for any proposal designed to basically overthrow the current calendar, the Gregorian Calendar, which is used by most of the world."
