Book summaryIn an effort to understand what there is about the thousand-year interval that has made it such a calendric fixation of Western culture, author Stephen Jay Gould sets out to answer the questions of what, why, and when in order to explain the growing fascination with matters millennial. Media reviews"...Gould's calendrical work is a lively inquiry into the most basic of human traits - the desire to impose order through a clearly defined, if somewhat flawed, system, and then to imbue that system with cosmic significance." |
