9 | # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is | |
10 | # Thomas G. Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition), | |
11 | # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). | |
12 | # Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below. | |

14 | # Gwillim Law <LAW@encmail.encompass.com> writes that a good source |
15 | # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport | |
16 | # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), | |
17 | # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries | |
18 | # of the IATA's data after 1990. | |
19 | # | |
20 | # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990, | |
21 | # and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990. | |
22 | # | |
28f540f4 RM |
23 | # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences, |
24 | # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which | |
25 | # I found in the UCLA library. | |
26 | # | |
27 | # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is | |
28 | # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude, | |
29 | # Oxford University Press (1980). | |

514 | # Each year they decide anew what havoc to wreak on the country. However, | |
515 | # there is a "supposed" set of rules which is subject to change depending | |
516 | # on the party the Minister of Interior, the size of the coalition | |
517 | # government, the phase of the moon and the direction of the wind. Hence, | |
518 | # changes may need to be made on a semi-annual basis. One thing is entrenched | |
a5570f62 | 519 | # in law, however: that there must be at least 150 days of daylight savings |
4cca6b86 UD |
520 | # time annually. Ever since 1993, the change to daylight savings time is |
521 | # on a Thursday night from midnight IST to 1 a.m IDT. The change back to | |
522 | # standard time is on a Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time | |
72d8cdf0 | 523 | # to 11 p.m. standard time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the |
4cca6b86 | 524 | # change back to standard time took place on Sunday night instead of Saturday |
72d8cdf0 | 525 | # night to avoid conflicts with the Jewish New Year. |
