the good: Robin Heath is a cutting edge researcher into megalithic sites and astronomy, building on past work and adding a lot of his own. This book describes a new discovery which links the Preseli Hills in Wales, where the bluestone found at Stonehenge originated, with Stonehenge on an astronomical and metrical (systems of measurement) basis. Amazing new original research.

the bad: Heath's writing style is too chatty, he spends too much time making snide comments about orthodox archaeology, and the actual topic of this book only takes up one chapter and feels quite rushed, and the rest of which is devoted to recapping his findings on Stonehenge.

So, if you haven't read Sun Moon Stonehenge, that could be a plus. If you have, much of this is repetitive.

This would have made a good book combined with Temple in the Hills which talks about another aspect of the Preseli area megalithic and landscape archaeoastronony (?is that a word?).

This is really the only place as far as I know to find this kind of work, however, so if you're interested you just need to deal with these self published pitfalls.
