The Historical Perspective

January 25, 2009

Often our past is categorized in terms of centuries.  Epochs are dated from 00 of a particular century to the 99th year of that century.  When the calendar changes back to 00, a new age is perceived to have begun—December 31, ’99, is a convenient cut-off date, when everything of one century is consigned to [...]
