It was a pleasure to meet Andy yesterday, and to have a chat about his new book. There wasn't any elaborate launch, but the book is now officially published, and available from now on in all good bookshops and via Amazon (the enemy -- but we all have to use it since its marketing / promotion work is so effective).
Here's hoping it sells well. As I mentioned earlier, the "catalogue entries" for UK megalithic sites are mercifully free of speculation, and can be accepted as pretty authoritative and reliable. But the little one-page articles on a vast range of different topics will no doubt lead to many lively debates. Each of these articles has a name attached to it, so the contents do not imply editorial approval! The topics include dowsing, alignments, the Neolithic cosmos, archaeoastronomy, healing stones, phenomenology, archaeoaccoustics, rock art, and stone balls. There is even an article by Jon on the geocentric universe. There is nothing, as far as I can see, on aliens, spacecraft, giants, fairies or Merlin the Wizard. Inevitably, opinions occasionally take precedence in these articles over cold facts....... and some readers will no doubt roll their eyes, sigh or weep as they read. But hey, cheer up -- this is all good fun, and there's plenty there for us all to get our teeth into!
