Circles
of Stone : The Prehistoric Rings of Britain & Ireland
by Max Milligan (Photographer), Aubrey Burl
Categorized by the publisher as archaeology-history-photography, Circles
of Stone does indeed straddle all these subjects. The volume is in itself
a work of art, a stimulating introduction to a fascinating aspect of prehistory
and a useful work of reference for anyone with an interest in ancient monuments.
Fabulous photographs of 70 stone circles from all over the British Isles
are accompanied by a factually rich text. The author, an established authority
on prehistoric megaliths, gives an interesting impression of how the stones
have been variously used and perceived through their long histories. While
allowing legend a voice, this text is not the place to find detailed speculation
on prehistoric rites or ancient astronomy: its scope is more pragmatic
and it includes details of the form and location of each monument and other
interesting sites. Chronologically arranged, the selection begins with
the circles of the Late Neolithic and ends in the Middle Bronze Age, showing
a great variety of form over 2,000 years. There is variety, too, in the
photographic views, from panoramas to zoomed-in textural detail. The photographs
themselves are dramatic. Taken in many different light conditions, they
often capture the stones at their most evocative moments, showing how the
illumination of the sun and moon and the form of the surrounding landscape
is a vital part of their aura--just as was the case in prehistory. --Karen

When
Time Began
by Zecharia Sitchin
The Architects of Stonehenge
They came to Earth thousands of years ago to usher in mankind's first
New Age of scientific growth and spiritual enlightenment. Under the guidance
of these ancient visitors from the heavens, human civilization flourished
-- as revolutionary advances in art, science and thought swept through
the inhabited world. And they left behind magnificent monuments -- baffling
monoliths and awesome, towering structures that stand to this day as testaments
to their greatness.
In this extraordinarily documented, meticulously researched work, Zecharia
Sitchin draws remarkable correlations between the events that shape our
civilization in millennia past -- pinpointing with astonishing accuracy
the tumultuous beginning of time as we know it . . . and revealing to us
the indisputable signature of extraterrestrial god indelibly written in
stone. The Publisher

Uriel's
Machine : Uncovering the Secrets of Stonehenge, Noah's Flood, and the Dawn
of Civilization
by Christopher Knight, Robert Lomas
Modern scientific investigations show that Earth has been hit many
times by objects such as comets and meteorites. Laboratory work on comet
impact effects demonstrates that comets could cause tidal waves to exceed
three miles tall and near 400 miles per hour. In the last 10,000 years,
there have been two impacts of such proportion: a seven-fold impact into
all the world's oceans around 7640 B.C., and a single impact into the Mediterranean
Sea about 3150 B.C., the time of Noah's Flood. Uriel's Machine proves ancient
Europeans not only survived the 7640 B.C. flood, but developed a highly
advanced civilization dedicated to predicting and preparing for future
meteoric impacts. Amazon.com

Circles : A Modern Builders Guide to the Megalithic Revival
by Robert L. Roy
Ever had an irresistible urge to stand a dozen seven-ton stones upright
in a circle? If so, this fascinating how-to book could make your dream
come true. Robert Roy is a man obsessed with megaliths--structures and
monuments constructed of large, often unhewn stones. From the gorgeous
cover photo of a stone circle in New South Wales, Australia, to the extensive
closing glossary of terms, he's packed Stone Circles with all you'll ever
need to gain the inspiration to create a megalithic structure. You'll also
find the instructions and know-how to carry your plans to fruition. In
journal format, he takes you through dozens of construction experiences
step by step, well-documented with photos and diagrams. Even if you have
no intention of circling up, his tour of famous stones circles and their
histories is well worth the read. --P. Randall Cohan - Amazon.com
