"A New Calendar for the World" features many excellent calendar reform ideas, set amongst the backdrop of a possible "End of the Age" event in 2012. Whether the age actually will end in 2012 (and the book is neutral on that matter - and in fact barely deals with these predictions) the time may indeed be ripe for a new calendar, as this blog has argued in the past.
Among the ideas floated in the eBook (which costs only $1.99) are:
- The 13-Moon Calendar: Inspired by the Maya
- The Symmetry454 Calendar: Beautiful Symmetry
- The 13-month "Sol" Calendar: Updating an Old Idea
- The New Earth Calendar: A Worthy Hybrid
- The 30x11 Calendar: A Gentle Update of our Calendar
The book also features numerous "experimental" calendars that are more than a useless exercise. They are actually creative, and are good starting points for discussions on how our calendar can serve human beings, and not the other way around.
The e-book is published by Abbott ePublishing and can be bought at http://www.abbottepub.com/newcal.html.
