Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing. Pristine, clean & tight copy, unread in FINE condition. "In QUESTIONING THE MILLENNIUM, best-selling author Stephen Jay Gould applies his wit and erudition to one of [yesterday's] most pressing subjects: the significance of the… millennium. As always, Gould brings into his essays a wide range of compelling historical and scientific fact, including a brief history of millennial fevers, calendrical traditions and idiosyncracies from around the world, the story of a 6th-century monk whose errors in chronology plague us even today [1997] and the heroism of a young autistic man who has developed the extraordinary ability to calculate dates deep into the past and the future. Ranging over a wide terrain of phenomena---from the arbitrary regularities of human calendars to the unpredicability of nature, from the vagaries of pop culture to the birth of Christ---Stephen Jay Gould holds the mirror up to our millennial passions to reveal our foibles, absurdities and uniqueness---in other words, our humanity." Bright & crisp copy w/minor scuffing on jacket & tiny paper irruption in book's tail, o/w perfectly FINE & quite presentable.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. InQuestioning the Millennium, Stephen Jay Gould applies his wit and erudition to one of today's most pressing subjects:??the significance of the millennium. In this beautiful inquiry into time and its milestones, he shares his interest and insights with his readers.??Refreshingly reasoned, erudite, and a…bsorbing, the book asks and answers the three major questions that define the approaching calendrical event: First, what exactly is this concept of a millennium and how has its meaning shifted???How did the name for a future thousand year reign of Christ on earth get transferred to the passage of a secular period of a thousand years in current human history??? When does the new millennium begin:??January 1, in the year 2000 or 2001??? Finally, why must our calendars be so complex, leading to our search for arbitrary regularity, including a fascination with millennia? As always, Gould brings into his essays a wide range of compelling historical and scientific fact, including a brief history of millennia fevers, calendrical traditions and idiosyncrasies from around the world, the story of a sixth-century monk whose errors in chronology plague us even today, and the heroism of a young autistic man who has developed the extraordinary ability to calculate dates deep into the past and the future. Ranging over a wide terrain of phenomena - from the arbitrary regularities of human calendars to the unpredictability of nature, from the vagaries of pop culture to the birth of Christ - Stephen Jay Gould holds the mirror up to our millennial passions to reveal our foibles, absurdities, and uniqueness - in other words, our humanity.

Zustand: Gut. Erstausgabe. 190 Seiten mit einigen Abbildungen. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. In this slender volume, Stephen Jay Gould addresses three questions about the millennium with his typical combination of erudition, warmth and whimsy: As a calendrical event, what is the concept of a millennium an…d 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 will the millennium begin--January 1, 2000 or January 2, 2001? "Our urge to know is so great, but our common errors cut so deep. You just gotta love us," he states disarmingly in the preface. "And you gotta view misguided millennial passion as a primary example of our uniqueness and our absurdity--in other words, of our humanity." Gould's own curiosity about time and calendars was triggered by a 1950 issue of Life magazine, which cut the century in half with its evaluation of what had happened and its prediction of things to come, propelling his third-grade mind to the year 2000. In Questioning the Millennium, Gould promises to make no predictions (other than "an orgy of millennial books"); court no millennial epiphanies; and put forth no theories on the collective angst that typically accompanies a century's end. Instead, he answers the millennial questions which, for him, represent the intersection of undeniable reality (natural fact) and human interpretation. Gould's questions and learned answers, weaving many historical and scientific facts, are a loving inquiry into the human need for order in a vast and teeming universe.
