Very good design, 29 April 2013
The stainless steel design is very good, it means this feeder will last a lot longer than ones with cheaper materials

Much easier than wellies, 18 April 2013
More comfortable and easier to put on than wellies for those "must rush down the garden" jobs. The sizing is quite generous, I ordered a size 9 and probably should have ordered a size smaller.

Read the book and make up your own mind., 20 Jan 2013
It's clear from the Ad Hominem attacks in some of the reviews that the author has rattle the cage of a few orthodox historians. But if their position was so well-founded, they could just tell us how and why, instead of abusing MJ Harper and his witty and thought-provoking book. It deserves to be read.

An extraordinary book about an extraordinary voyage, 20 Dec 2012
Barry Cunliffe deserves praise for shining a light on a very early part of British history. It also helps roll-back the boundaries of what is "pre-history", before written records were the norm.

At last! A good engineering perspective of what Stonehenge was for., 27 Nov 2012
For far too long, traditional archeologists have obsessed about the remains of a few dead people found scattered around Stonehenge. Without contributing any great progress in understanding what living people had designed, built and used Stonehenge for. This is a great step forward. It should be essential reading for anyone interested in Megalithic Engineering and a highly skilled scientific culture that spread for thousands of miles along the western coast of Europe and across the Meditterranean sea.

An excellent new view on megalithic life, 20 Nov 2012
Some traditional archeologists (TA) will hate this book. Why? Because TAs tend to have an obsession with death, priests and war, and anything they find that is not recognisable is called a Religious Artifact. In fact, there is an ever-mounting body of evidence to show that in many respects megalithic life was not that different from ours. i.e. while we hear stories of death and war, 99% of us are peacefully engaged in getting on with life and our jobs. Megalithic jobs meant agriculture, farming, industry and trade. Trade was the thread that ties the whole of megalithic life together, and that trading network was spread over thousands of miles of Europe, by land and by sea. The British Isles was a home for industry even 5,000 years ago, as people came from all over Europe for highly valuable metals like tin, copper, silver and gold, which were mined and refined here before being exported in exchange for other trade goods. Stories of this megalithic culture became legend as far away as Greece and Egypt. The authors of Megalithic Empire have done a great job of turning the TAs perspective on its head in a highly informative and entertaining way, with an emphasis on how people found their way around in an area before printed maps as we know them.

Not a UK keyboard, 29 Jun 2012
Probably my own fault for assuming a keyboard being sold on a UK website would be a UK keyboard. Actually it's a US keyboard (no £ sign, etc). As a keyboard, it's fine.

Better earings, 20 Jan 2012
My wife likes these kind of earings more than any other, because the hook and catch makes them cleaner to wear and harder to loose.

An excellent book, 7 Oct 2011
Some good original source material in this book, some but not too much recycling from other books. A good progression from Uriel's Machine. Hopefully this will be inspiration for an aspiring astro-archeology student, because there's lots more field work and statistical analysis to be done on the geographic correlations with other henges in the south of Britain.

Excellent scientific detective work, 11 Mar 2010
Excellent detective work, this is proper scientific investigation - not pro-warming politics or belief wrapped in spin. It opens the lid on the way our trust has been abused by pseudo-science presented as "fact" when it is far from that.
