Stonehenge and Other British Stone Monuments Astronomically Considered

This volume invites listeners into the early 20th‑century quest to decode the sky‑watching purpose of Britain’s most mysterious stone circles. Drawing on the author’s extensive background in astronomy and solar physics, the narrative examines Stonehenge alongside a handful of lesser‑known sites, proposing that their massive stones were deliberately aligned with celestial events.

The author chronicles painstaking fieldwork carried out with the help of engineers, surveyors, and local scholars, describing how precise azimuths and careful measurements were taken before many of the monuments fell to neglect. Interwoven with personal acknowledgments, the text offers a snapshot of a collaborative scientific effort, presenting the observations and early calculations that formed the basis of a still‑open hypothesis. Listeners will sense both the excitement of discovery and the urgency to preserve these ancient markers before they disappear.
