Rob Roy has traveled the Anglo/Celtic world to learn the hows and whys of stone circle construction. He investigates the remarkable accomplishments (many still unexplained ) of his ancestors. And he examines the methods of contemporary practitioners, himself included, and present hard-to-find information on how to move and align giant stones. Along the way he introduces us to fascinating characters and spins some great yarns about megalithic culture, old and new. Stone Circles, filled with amazing photos and personal anecdotes, will be a welcome tonic for the imagination. Who were the designers and engineers of the ancient circles? And who are these modern revivalists of mysterious arts and techniques? What motivates them? What are their rewards?
作者简介 Rob Roy with wife Jaki and son Darin, has spent much of his adult life roaming the haunts of the woodland Druids and the people of the moors. He has participated in the design and construction of several large stone circles and many small ones in North America and Europe. Rob and Jaki are founders and faculty of the Earthwood Building School in West Chazy, New York, where the specialities are cordwood masonry, underground housing, and megalithic stone construction. Rob's other books include Mortgage-Free! and The Sauna.
编辑推荐 Ever had an irresistible urge to stand a dozen seven-ton stones upright in a circle? If so, this fascinating how-to book could make your dream come true. Robert Roy is a man obsessed with megaliths--structures and monuments constructed of large, often unhewn stones. From the gorgeous cover photo of a stone circle in New South Wales, Australia, to the extensive closing glossary of terms, he's packed Stone Circles with all you'll ever need to gain the inspiration to create a megalithic structure. You'll also find the instructions and know-how to carry your plans to fruition. In journal format, he takes you through dozens of construction experiences step by step, well-documented with photos and diagrams. Even if you have no intention of circling up, his tour of famous stones circles and their histories is well worth the read. --P. Randall Cohan
