Sinopsis
Gould addresses three questions about the millennium with his typical erudition, warmth, and whimsy: What is the concept of a millennium and how has its meaning shifted over time? How did the projection of Christ s 1,000-year reign become a secular measure? And when exactly does the millennium begin January 1, 2000, or January 2, 2001?

Críticas
With a humorous Everyman approach, Gould juggles a mind-boggling array of various calendrical concepts as he explains why creating a reliable calendar was one of man's greatest struggles. Whether nailing down the precise date of the birth of Christ or airing his suspicion that God is a New York Yankees fan, Gould teaches rather than preaches. -- Daneet Steffens Entertainment Weekly
