Review
"Readers who doubt that calendrical tabulations are of general interest should check their library's circulation records; in the reviewer's library, a number of the books were charged out ....

Synopsis
Using the algorithms outlined in their earlier book, Calendrical Calculations, Professors Reingold and Dershowitz have achieved the near-impossible task of simultaneously displaying the date on thirteen different calendars over a three-hundred year period. Represented here are the Gregorian, ISO, Hebrew, Chinese, Coptic, Ethiopic, Persian, Hindu lunar, Hindu solar, and Islamic calendars; another three are easily obtained from the tables with minimal arithmetic ( J.D., R.D. and Julian). The tables also include phases of the moon, dates of solstices and equinoxes, and religious and other special holidays for all the calendars shown.
