Title: Alternative for those needing details
Product review: 'Calendar' lives up to its other reviews. Not a real history and not a real book on computing calendars. An alternative book, readily available at Amazon, may be what some users really wanted.While not a history of calendars, 'Calendrical Calculations: The Millennium Edition' by Edward M. Reingold, Nachum Dershowitz (Paperback) provides brief historys of a dozen or more calendars, and complete information on the mathematical basis of the calendar, and how to do calendric calculations. It's not for the casual or non-mathematical reader, but provides a wealth of information for those who are not afraid of strange symbols. (I have no connection with the publisher, authors, royalties or any such; I'm just one of thousands of delighted readers.)
