Quarto (10 1/4" x 7 3/4") bound ibn original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First edition. People have puzzled over Stonehenge for centuries, speculating and dreaming about it, drawing and painting it, trying to make sense of it. Here is the story of the one real Stonehenge, as well as the many unreal Stonehenges that archaeologists, tourists, mystics, astronomers, artists, poets, and visionaries have made out of it. New studies in the past decade have revolutionized our knowledge of the complex sequence of structures that make its celebrated profile, in particular indicating that the monument is decidedly older than was once thought. Moreover, as Christopher Chippindale shows, we now know that the main alignment at Stonehenge was not in fact on midsummer sunrise but rather on midwinter sunset. Condition: Jacket edge wear with tears and small chips else very good in like jacket.

The enigmatic shapes of Stonehenge's ruins and the almost magical precision and subtlety of its design have engendered awe, speculation, and controversy over the centuries, and many of the riddles It poses have still to be solved. In Stonehenge Complete, the first full account of this remarkable site, Christopher Chippindale brings together the history of Inquiry Into Stonehenge ~ a history In which, as one observer noted In 1801, "the mazes of wild opinion are more complex and Intricate than the ruin." Stonehenge Complete begins with the rediscovery of the monument in AD. 1130 and tells how at various points in Its history it has been attributed to the Romans, the Phoenicians, and the Mycenaeans, and finally adopted by the Druids as their own. Enriched with over 260 illustrations, the book reproduces views that artists have rendered over the last 800 years, from manuscript illuminations to recent photographs, and including the work of the two greatest English watercolorists, Turner and Constable. It reviews modern interpretations of Stonehenge, describing how Stonehenge was built and explaining what is known of Its elaborate astronomy. It also tells how this unique monument has been imperiled by the depredations of souvenir~hunters, builders, showmen, and the military, and even by a scheme to have it shipped to America. Lively, informative, and compelling, Stonehenge Complete will delight anyone who has felt the allure of this relic of a vanished and mysterious age.
