Megaliths hold an eternal fascination, and photographer Rupert Soskin has certainly been bitten by the bug. This book acts as a photographic gazetteer of the finest megalithic sites in Britain and Ireland, the glorious full colour photos allowing the monuments to be seen in their landscape context. The accompanying text offers commentary on the sites and personal observations. As Timothy Darvill states in his foreword "[Rupert's photo'] act like windows into the past, encouraging us to think more widely about the meaning and purpose of ancient sites, how they were perceived by prehistoric people, and at the same time opening the eyes of travellers and enthusiasts to the great variety of standing stones across the British Isles".
