This newly revised and enlarged fourth edition of Christopher
Chippindale's prize-winning classic account brings the story of
Stonehenge right up to date. It describes in two new chapters the
startling ideas and insights of the latest field research. In a
radical reinterpretation, Stonehenge with its cold rocks is seen as
the place of the dead, and another site - over the horizon - as the
place of the living, built in wood, and complete with houses and
paved ways. In another theory, Stonehenge is a place of healing.
Alongside the quest to understand Stonehenge are the taxing
practicalities of caring for a 4,000 years old site that was never
designed to cope with a million visitors a year, and how to
preserve the monument for millennia to come. `It would not be easy
to name a better guide' - The Guardian `Splendidly illustrated ...
Will for years to come be a standard reference work' - The Times
Literary Supplement `All you ever wanted to know about
Stonehenge...is catalogued in this humorously written, beautifully
illustrated book' - The Economist
