The French Revolution resulted in a restructuring of the French calendar, and the Soviet Union experimented with five- andsix-day weeks. Leofranc Holford-Strevens explores the history of the measurement of time using a range of fascinating examples, from Ancient Rome and Julius Caesar's imposition of the Leap Year to the 1920s' projectfor a fixed Easter."--BOOK JACKET.
