THE STONEHENGE COMPANION |
||
James McLintock There can be no more controversial structure in England than Stonehenge. Since the Renaissance, debate has raged over who built it, how old it is, and what it was meant for. But it's also one of Britain's best-loved sights, visited by an average of over three quarters of a million people a year, regularly voted for in polls as a great British icon, and known to people the world over. Through the centuries, Stonehenge has been all things to all men - World Heritage Site, symbol of England, spiritual haven, energy vortex, calendar, astronomical observartory, cemetery, temple, UFO landing pad... no doubt the next century will throw up even more outlandish ones. The Sonehenge Companion takes a whistle-stop tour through the monument's history and mythology. Within its pages, you'll find the quirks, the quotes, the history, and the sheer mystery of this architectural marvel. Publisher: Think Books for English Heritage ISBN 97881905624089 |
