Book Description
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.

Book Description
Unfurling like a medieval book of days, each page of Eduardo Galeano's Children of the Days has an illuminating story that takes inspiration from that date of the calendar year, resurrecting the heroes and heroines who have fallen off the historical map, but whose lives remind us of our darkest hours and sweetest victories. Challenging readers to consider the human condition and our own choices, Galeano elevates the little-known heroes of our world and decries the destruction of the intellectual, linguistic, and emotional treasures that we have all but forgotten. Readers will discover many inspiring narratives in this collection of vignettes: the Brazilians who held a "smooch-in" to protest against a dictatorship for banning kisses that "undermined public morals;" the astonishing day Mexico invaded the United States; and the "sacrilegious" women who had the effrontery to marry each other in a church in the Galician city of A Coruna in 1901. Galeano also highlights individuals such as Pedro Fernandes Sardinha, the first bishop of Brazil, who was eaten by Caete Indians off the coast of Alagoas, as well as Abdul Kassem Ismael, the grand vizier of Persia, who kept books safe from war by creating a walking library of 117,000 tomes aboard four hundred camels, forming a mile-long caravan. Beautifully translated by Galeano's longtime collaborator, Mark Fried, Children of the Days is a majestic humanist treasure that shows us how to live and how to remember. It awakens the best in us.
