Product Description
Product Description
How does mankind deal with miracles? This question has assumed a more-than-theoretical importance in the life of Michael Glickman, who has been witnessing the miraculous on a regular basis since he investigated his first crop circle in 1990. In the years since then, an intensive study of the crop-circle phenomenon in the region of its most important appearances—the English countryside—has given Glickman extraordinary personal insight into a subject usually known only through secondhand reports and speculation.
More than eight years in the writing, Crop Circles: The Bones of God is unique among books on this modern enigma in that it combines the author’s firsthand field encounters with some of the most famous crop-circle formations (such as Alton Barnes 1990 and Silbury Hill 1997, as well as more recent circles) with intricate and dazzling analyses of the structure and content of those formations. This beautifully illustrated mix of personal narrative with detailed study informs a larger discussion of the role of crop circles in the modern world and their unprecedented promise of new chapters in the history of consciousness.

This book is a series of meditations on and investigations of the most significant crop circles of the last 20 years. There is no real history of the crop circles phenomenon, the focus is on the circles themselves.
The author has clearly spent a long time considering these formations and has a deep personal knowledge of his subject. Unlike some books where the meanings of crop circles are all too glibly listed, Glickman's careful and thoughtful approach really made me feel that I understood what the numbers and the geometry meant.
This is not a long book but it is an enjoyable read if you are interested in the mysteries and meanings of crop circles.

This is a beautifully produced book with a striking cover featuring the Barbury Pi formation. It is printed on quality shiny paper by Frog Books of Berkeley California.Over 13 chapters, Glickman studies the most magnificent circles of recent history and looks at their geometries with great care and beautiful photographs. Glickman is one of the foremost researchers of this phenomenon and I was disappointed with the final chapter, which presents a short and very watered down hypothesis of what the circles mean. This is a passionately argued subject and I feel Glickman's book doesn't do justice to this fact. It seems to me to be the work of a man who is trying too hard to cover all bases and in the process loses something of the passion that this subject stirs in the factions involved.Fabulous title though.
