'Do prehistoric stone monuments in Britain and Ireland incorporate deliberate astronomical alignments, and if so, what is their purpose and meaning?' This is the first approach to deal with this subject, one of deep controversy. The book details the debates of the 1960s-1980s; describes the present state of ideas and evidence on the subject; and sets new agendas for the future. The evidence is set within a broader framework of cosmology, ideology and cognition.
