Title: Florid style covers up any actual information book may or may not contain
Review: When I got this book, I expected a history of our calendar and its links to the ancient world written for regular people as opposed to scholars. The writing is fluid, but so florid that it's hard to get actual information out of it. The writing is so self-indulgently flowery that it disguises the message rather than delivering it. Since the subject matter is in fact nonfiction, this is not a particularly effective style.There are a lot of books out there on the history of the calendar that ARE readable, even to the non-academic. This one is not worth buying.
