Description
What are stone circles? When were they built, and why? How come so many of them are egg-shaped or geometrically flattened? What do they have to do with the landscape, Sun, Moon, and stars?
In this beautifully illustrated book, megalithomaniac Hugh Newman takes us on a fascinating journey around the world, examining these mysterious monuments of the megalithic culture from Wessex to Scotland, France to Poland, North America to Africa, and India to Japan.
Stone Circles is part of the WOODEN BOOKS series, small but packed with information. Described as "fascinating" by the Financial Times, "beautiful" by the London Review of Books, "rich and artful" by The Lancet, "genuinely mind-expanding" by the Fortean Times, "excellent" by New Scientist, and "stunning" by the New York Times, these small books embody big ideas.
