Stonehenge Decoded

By: Gerald S. With White, John B. Hawkins

This brilliant and readable study challenges the notion that the 3500- year-old Stonehenge was a Druid temple, and concludes that is was actually a sophisticated astronomical observatory- in fact, a Neolithic computer, designed to predict eclipses. Astronomers and archaeologists, as well as the general reader, will be fascinated by Professor Hawkin's account of decoding the ancient monument by modern computer, and thus unraveling one of history's great memories. Gerald S. Hawkins is a Professor of Astronomy at Boston University and a research associate at Harvard College Observatory. John B. White is an editor and exhibits-arranger for the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.
