Описание:
There is nothing like Stonehenge: the simple, graphic genius of these great, arranged blocks. The stones seem to rise from the ground in some antediluvian heave of the Earth: lintels, great horizontal slabs, roughly squared, the grey rock now covered in subtle lichen green. But who made it? When did they make it? And most importantly, how was it built?
How it was constructed is perhaps the central question about Stonehenge and likely the most common query from its many visitors. Yet it's one of the least-researched aspects of the site, which author Mike Pitts aims to correct in this new book. With a unique focus on the monument itself, How to Build Stonehenge describes the site as it is today, what we know about the different types of stone, how they were carved and positioned to create the ultimate in megalithic architecture, and how this was taken down and left to ruin until the decay was arrested in the twentieth century with substantial restoration works.
Pitts then examines the latest research on the site, interrogating the key questions: the sources of the various stones, how they were transported, and how it was all put together. The book considers the first significant study of sarsen, the stone most of Stonehenge is made of, in detail. Recent groundbreaking discoveries using cutting-edge scientific techniques have given us incredible new detail on the sources of these immense stones and brings it into the wider context of other megalith buildings around the world, as well as placing Stonehenge at the center of a network of European Bronze Age cultures.

Описание: Jules Swales' new book of poetry seeps into your consciousness the way a deep breath by the ocean fills your soul. I want a stonehenge life is vulnerable, a bold exploration of love. Daring the journey of pain and confusion, she arrives at the knowledge that life is always for us, not against us. And so it is... her masterful hug. Take the ride with Jules and risk transformation. "Jules Swales' poetry is raw, uncut, and endearingly vulnerable. Her master craftsmanship at image-making creates a vibrant canvas for so many unguarded, spontaneous, resonant emotions. A thrill to read." Steve Chandler, Author of Fearless "I found myself going from one poem to the next, losing track of time and falling into the mystery of her world and the mastery of her words. Swales' grooves each poem with precision, but I never get the sense that she remains fixed in only one groove. These poems are audacious, tender, compassionate and bold, filled with unexpected images and thought-provoking sentiments." -Jack Grapes, Author of The Naked Eye and All The Sad Angels

Описание: Stonehenge is one of the world’s most famous monuments. Who built it, how and why are questions that have endured for at least 900 years, but modern methods of investigation are now able to offer up a completely new understanding of this iconic stone circle.Stonehenge’s history straddles the transition from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age, though its story began long before it was built. Serving initially as a burial ground, it evolved over time into a sacred place for gathering, feasting and building, and was remodelled several times as different peoples arrived in the area along with new technologies and customs. In more recent centuries it has found itself the centre of excavations, political protests and even conspiracy theories, embedding itself in the consciousness of the modern world.In this book Mike Parker Pearson draws on two decades of research, the results of recent excavations and cutting-edge scientific analyses to uncover many of the secrets that this prehistoric stone circle has kept for 5,000 years. In doing so, he paints the most comprehensive picture yet of the history of Stonehenge, from its origins up to the 21st century, and reveals how in some ways trying to explain its power of attraction in the present is harder than explaining its purpose in the ancient past.
