{"product_id":"records-in-stone-clive-ruggles-9780521531306","title":"Records in Stone: Papers in Memory of Alexander Thom","description":"Professor Alexander Thom, who died in 1985, was a distinguished engineer. Independently of his 'mainstream' academic career, he developed a deep and active interest in the prehistoric megalithic sites of Britain and Brittany, visiting and surveying many hundreds of them over a period of forty years. Thom's interpretations of the field data have aroused strong interest and some intense controversy. The main areas of debate are: geometry (the methods used to set out the megalithic rings, many of which appear to be non-circular); mensuration (the possible use of 'standard' units of measurement in setting out rings and rows); and astronomy (the connection between structures aligned upon the horizon and the rising and setting positions of the sun, moon or stars).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clive Ruggles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521531306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521531306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 7.46w x 1.19d","brand":"Clive Ruggles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054842474751,"sku":"9780521531306","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98919506-ca72-4adb-9a9d-93d6130047c5.jpg?v=1685032315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/records-in-stone-clive-ruggles-9780521531306","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
