In Praise of "Places"

I found this book facinating. It's a book that details a twenty year long private project to investigate the "paranormal" activity around various standing stones and circles in Britain. I can find NO OTHER book that covers this material in this way. There are many, thousands even, on the mystery of Britain's standing stones, but none that cover the scientific details of what "paranormal" manifestations occur at each site.The book details many stone sites, but focuses on one particular site because the Rollright Stone Circle is the Dragon Project's headquarters. The evidence for the strange occurences around Rollright speaks for itself in "Places." Radio emissions at strange and unusual frequencies, repeated over and over in regular patterns, prompted many to suspect a military source. Yet when that is carefully ruled out, the signals still look "artificial." All compass deviations are carefully noted, and any radioactivity is also discussed in detail.What I liked most about this book is how it approaches its unusual subject. While many "newage" books go over the top and become diatribes on how the stones were constructed by aliens, et cetera, this book remains clearly in the realm of real science. Yet it is not close-minded to the paranormal. It has a broad-minded and honest eye for what's happening at circles and standing stones. It uses science to prove its findings, yet does not descend to harshly worded debunkery, as many so-called scientific books on similar subjects often do.There are some facinating hints and theories about the construction and use of stone sites by the ancients, as well as some ideas on how to use such sites today. I will be attempting the copper pyramid/photograph of crystal experiment myself very soon. Anyone who is interested in crystal power or orgone/ether technology should definitely take a look at this book.
