The War of Calendars

Book excerpt: Since the turn of the 20th century, new calendars have been introduced to replace the existing calendar. Some bring the year length closer to the tropical year. Others link the weekdays to monthly dates so that year after year, our birthdays fall on the same date of the month and the same day of the week. This book is a comprehensive guide to various calendar systems, including those designed to replace the current Gregorian Calendar. It introduces a new calendar that aligns weekdays with monthly dates, offering significant advantages over the Gregorian Calendar. Its system is remarkably accurate when compared to the tropical year length, with only 4 - 5 leap years in a century, reducing confusion. It also offers 42 additional days off per year without compromising earnings. It discusses several topics yet also leaves some open for further discussion. The main objective is to unite the entire world on the subject of calendars, not to shortchange anyone.
