Product Description

Product Description

When the first edition of "Stonehenge Complete" was published, it won the British Archaeological Book Award. People have puzzled over Stonehenge for centuries: speculating and dreaming about it, drawing and painting it, trying to make sense of it. Here is the story of the one real Stonehenge, as well as the many unreal Stonehenge that archaeologists, tourists, mystics, astronomers, artists, poets and visionaries have made out of it. This new edition has been revised and updated to include the latest theories and discoveries, bringing the Stonehenge story into the 1990s. Christopher Chippindale is editor of the international archaeological journal "Antiquity".

4.0 out of 5 stars A wry look a through the history of thehistory of Stonehenge, 7 Nov 1998
By A Customer
An archaeologist of the old school with zero tolerance for the alternative and the fringe, delivering himself of the immortal quote "Much of what has been written about Stonehenge is derivative, second-rate or plain wrong.", Chippindale still comes up with a highly readable though one-sided look both at the history of Stonehenge - and the history of the history of Stonehenge from Inigo Jones' Roman theorising to the latest alternative fringe. I'd like to have seen a bit more about Stonehenge itself and a little less of the history of the history, but recommended for scholars of Stonehenge nevertheless.

1.0 out of 5 stars Far From Complete, 11 Dec 2008
By Andis Kaulins (Traben-Trarbach, Rheinland-Pfalz Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was a great disappointment. Any book that starts out "Stonehenge is the ruin of a single stone building" has to be kidding. Chippindale does not even index the 1876 book, Stonehenge and its Barrows, by William Long, writing for the Wiltshire Achaeological and Natural History Society, which in my opinion is the best and most "complete" book ever written on Stonehenge. Stonehenge Complete is more a modern helter-skelter journalistic essay on Stonehenge rather than anything that one can use for serious work. It is full of irrelevant discourse, opinions, unproven assertions and asides to unrelated topics and almost totally ignores archaeoastronomical aspects. Read Gerald Hawkins rather than this if you want to get some idea about Stonehenge. This one is not worth the money.
