Description:
The ancient landscape of Britain is a subject of fascination to many people. They love to visit stone circles and rows, passage mounds and dolmens and individual standing stones whose purpose now seems mysterious and inexplicable. The academic subject of archaeoastronomy developed from a desire to understand these fascinating sites. Its aim is to examine their carefully chosen locations from the point of view of the movements of the sun and moon as seen from earth. However, there are no simple basic introductory books for people interested in the subject. Most of the literature is presented in a difficult and complex manner, especially for the non-scientist. Yet the ideas about the relationship of sky and landscape are natural and obvious when once they are pointed out.
