-- Toronto Globe and Mail
"As the new millennium approaches, this fine book will prove to all readers that the establishment of a consistent and useful calendar is no dull work of drones and bean counters, but one of humanity's greatest achievements and the embodiment of our culture, history and progress."
-Stephen Jay Gould
""CALENDAR" sparkles Gripping, expansive and scholarly, it will be indispensable reading for years to come. Duncan has achieved a rare feat in turning something ordinary into an extraordinary metaphor of life."
-"The Observer"
"This book is as irresistible as the flow of time itself. The story about our age-old efforts to stay in step with the clocklike movements of the moon, sun and stars is funny and sad, dramatic and comical, and David Duncan tells it beautifully, even poetically."
-Dr. Michael Guillen, ABC News
"Duncan writes the way good teachers teach, conversational, yet informed he is a popularizer and storyteller "
-"USA Today" (Editor's Pick)
"David Duncan illuminates our calendar's remarkable evolution not just by telling us about time but also by letting us travel through it The story takes us to courts of kings, emperors and popes, from Egypt and India to Byzantium and Rome, and beyond. And, at every turn, the author brings the key players to life."
-"Toronto Globe and Mail"
"David Duncan takes his place in the ranks of the best explainers in print."
-Hugh Downs
