In counterpoint to this scientific and technological age, this splendid, large-format volume lies at the other end of the scale to tap into spiritual well-springs and curiosity about the mystical. It is a superbly photographed and eruditely written tour around the globe of the rocks, stone circles, pyramids, other forms of architecture and alignments that have been regarded by sections of humanity over time as sacred sites. The authors hark back to the significance of the natural world in creation mythology and go on to explore the special places of those who regard the earth as a reservoir of energy and spiritual power. Imbued overall with awe and mystery, here are magnificent examples of prehistoric cave art, Far Eastern temples, rock and ritual places in the Americas, mandalas in Java, and what the authors term Sacred Living Space as well as Architecture of the Afterlife. Accessible and popular scholarship from two experts in prehistoric and shamanistic cultures.
