Description
The History of Time: A Very Short IntroductionWhy do we measure time in the way that we do? Why is a week seven days long? At what point did minutes and seconds come into being? Why are some calendars lunar and some solar? The organization of time into hours, days, months, and years seems immutable and universal, but is actually far more artificial than most people realize. For example, the French Revolution resulted in a restructuring of the French calendar, and the Soviet Union experimented
Why do we measure time in the way that we do? Why is a week seven days long? At what point did minutes and seconds come into being? Why are some calendars lunar and some solar?The organization of time into hours, days, months, and years seems immutable and universal, but is actually far more artificial than most people realize. For example, the French Revolution resulted in a restructuring of the French calendar, and the Soviet Union experimented with five and then six-day weeks.
Leofranc Holford-Strevens brings us this fascinating study of time using a range of examples from Ancient Rome and Julius Caesar's imposition of the Leap Year to the 1920's project for a fixed Easter. Those interested in time, history, and the development of the calendar will enjoy this absorbing exploration of an aspect of our lives that we all take for granted.

Honda Panel Pop Rivets
Why did you pick this product vs others?:
This product pack offered all the sizing I needed.
The rivets fit perfectly in the wheel well panel. I was able to replace the window washer reservoir and replace all the rivets. The end result was a panel held in better than before I started the project.

Worth the money
Had to pull the front bumper on my 2012 honda cr-v. Had all the clips that I needed except two on each side in the fender weld. Worth the money.
