Using the algorithms outlined in their earlier book, Professors Reingold and Dershowitz have achieved the near-impossible task of simultaneously displaying the date on thirteen different calendars over a three-hundred year period. Represented here are the Gregorian, ISO, Hebrew, Chinese, Coptic, Ethiopic, Persian, Hindu lunar, Hindu solar, and Islamic calendars; another three are easily obtained from the tables with minimal arithmetic ( J.D., R.D. and Julian). The tables also include phases of the moon, dates of solstices and equinoxes, and religious and other special holidays for all the calendars shown. Why produce a book of tables in the computer age? Because computer programs can cover only one or two calendars, have a limited range, are of dubious accuracy, are difficult for a non-expert to use, or work only on a small subset of computers. This set of beautifully-produced tables will be of use for centuries by anyone with an interest in calendars and the societies that produce them. It should also prove an invaluable reference tool for astronomers and genealogists.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Reading the tables\u003cbr\u003e Summary of warnings\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Calendars, 1900–2200.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Time [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Time\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Time%20%5Bchronology%5D,%20time%20systems%20\u0026amp;%20standards%20%5BPGZ%5D%22\"\u003echronology, time systems \u0026amp; standards PGZ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46005559329048,"sku":"9780521782531","price":176.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521782531i_c1e2de7c-b3e3-41da-9a07-02dbd2aba3f9.jpg?v=1691367883","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/calendrical-tabulations-1900-2200-hardback-9780521782531","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
