What is significant about the beginning of the new millennium? All natural
laws will remain intact. Apart from the celebrations themselves, nothing
dramatic is going to happen. When exactly does the new millennium begin: 1
January 2000 or 1 January 2001? In Questioning the Millennium, Stephen J. Gould
explores these questions and the fascinating history and debate behind this
oddity of the Christian calendar. Published by Jonathan Cape/Harmony in the US,
£12.99/$17.95, ISBN 060960076.
