Inhaltsangabe:

Stonehenge is seeing a massive surge of interest at present, something which this major reassessment of the monument by geophysics expert Anthony Johnson can only fuel further. Echoing much earlier approaches Johnson focuses his attention on the placement of the stones themselves, but offers quite new conclusions. Using documentation and results from the last 250 years of surveying at stonehenge he shows that the stones were laid out to a premeditated design, and that the symmetry and geometry involved were extremely complex, so much so that it must have been geometrical considerations which played the leading role in the design of the structure. A fascinating and well argued work, which is bound to re-ignite old debates and start new ones.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Anthony Johnson is a part time tutor in Landscape Archaeology at the University of Oxford, Department of Continuing Education. He is a hugely experienced archaeological surveyor.
