Author: Johnson, Anthony

This astonishing book reveals that the clues to the enigma of Stonehenge lie not in the surrounding landscape, as modern archaeology has supposed, but within the stones themselves. Illustrated with Johnson's own elegant diagrams and computer-generated reconstructions, patient detective work and detailed computer re-analysis of evidence hidden within the monument yield remarkable new insights into how the earthwork and stone circle were conceived and laid out. There is more information yet to be retrieved from Stonehenge, Johnson shows, than has hitherto been imagined. 288 pp. June.
