The alignment of the stones with the midsummer sun is well-known but this book also looks at the phases of the moon. It makes the startling assertion that Stonehenge could be used to predict eclipses of the sun and moon.
The accuracy of the alignment of the stones and the tremendous amount of work which must have gone into its construction suggest that the geometry of stonehenge must have been significant to its builders. Whether Robin Heath's conclusions are accurate or not, he makes a closely-argued case.
This book should certainly not be rejected unread. It is fascinating.
