Description: This book is essentially new, there are no marks of any kind inside the book. However, the binding is loose (see pictures). It appears that the binding was not particularly strong, and even though the book has only been opened a few times, the binding is beginning to separate. The owners name was written inside the front cover and has been covered with whiteout. The spectacular stone circles of western Europe, some nearly 6000 years old, have intrigued viewers through the ages. This beautiful book about these megalithic rings explores their ancestry, methods of construction, and eventual desertion. A substantially revised version of Aubrey Burl’s highly praised work The Stone Circles of the British Isles, it offers new insights into the purpose of stone circles. It also provides a new interpretation of Stonehenge and of Callanish in Scotland, the first overview of the cromlechs in Brittany, a discussion of the problems of archaeoastronomy as related to stone circles, a greatly expanded Gazetteer, and an up-to-date list of radiocarbon dates and recent excavations.
