Book Description

Publication Date: 29 Aug 2006
Three decades ago, two men in their fifties began flattening circles into the fields of Hampshire and Wiltshire. Little did they know that their Friday night antics would seed an international phenomenon that continues to change people's lives to this day.

Now, in the first book of its kind - part history and part how-to guide - the secrets of the crop circle world are revealed, by the people behind the modern era's most astounding artform.

Whether you think crop circles represent a genuine mystery, a new kind of art, or an elaborate practical joke, The Field Guide is sure to leave a lasting impression.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deception! 4 May 2013
By d j l dennis
Format:Paperback
This is yet another attempt to distract and deceive people from a true and outstanding gift humankind are being given at the moment, people who try and hide the truth and muddy the waters for people perception disgust me. People need to start waking up to crop circles and start taking a closer look! Don't get this book! it's an embarrassment to the phenomenon!

3.0 out of 5 stars descriptive and philosophical but not a convincing proof of the phenomena as human 4 Dec 2012
By douglas milholland
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As a crop circle entheusiast I read this book with caution for I like the concept that some non-human intelligence is using field art as a communication. My favorite crop circle woodborough hill 2000 is claimed by the author as "fibronacci spirals, natural growth cycles modeled using simple mathematical sequence." The claim of authorship is descriptive but unsubstantiated. Making the circle pattern in the night, with each ring of triangles changing would be very complex. You did this? I am not convinced. On page 179 the grapeshot phenomena was summed up as even the most dogmatic now agree that humans are doin' em. I walked past one in 2011 that was not on the tramway, that would have taken a large ladder to access if your aren't going to leave a path signature in the field... Could someone on the way to make the design been carrying such a ladder? Yes, but it seems so ridiculous to have had that additional burden for such a modest design detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars "It's only flattened cron" - Doug Bower 12 Oct 2006
By Mark Barnes
Format:Paperback
Its been on the top of circle enthusiasts minds for some time now keeping them wondering when it would finally get released yet it almost got abandoned somewhere in cornwall. After being compiled over several years the definitive 'Field Guide' to crop circles has finally been completed. Full of humor and wit this is a masterfully written book by true wordsmiths that will have you hooked from start to finish giving a rich in depth account on modern circle making and the philosophy that many circle makers follow. It also gives a very detailed and insightful look at the pre-history of crop circles,the science and how it all began along with interviews with well know circlemakers.

With its 'Roll your own' instructions and diagrams to get anyone started in the field this book will hopefully inspire a whole new generation of circle makers that will help shape this exciting phenomena in the future.

A must read for anyone interested in crop circles regardless of your belief.

Happy Stomping :D
