I was brought up near this monument and we often went out to see the stones. However we did not really know what we were looking at. This book gives a very clear idea what it is all about. The book is fascinating and very readable. Well recommended.

Informative and well illustrated. However the book does not satisfactorily explain the configuration or purpose of orthostats at Stonehenge. The purpose of Stonehenge was not exclusively astronomical or funereal. See "Stone Circles Explained" by Stephen Childs per Amazon
what a wonderful lecturer...he really inspires .....You students should easily get a first with Mike. and yes! found the source of the stones...the real source! thank you.
