London: Thames&Hudson, 1983. Hardcover. Good/fair. The first - and possibly only - attempt to bring together all that is known about Stonehenge at the time of publication (1983). Here you will find details of the antiquarians and archaeologists who have dug there over the last 400-years, together with all their findings and theories. Illlustrates the monument using works from the past 800-years, from manuscript iluminators to recent photographers, including the two greatest English water-colour painters, Constable and Turner, with Bill Brandt and Henry Moore amongst the modern masters. Looks at Stonehenge in literature and the arts, folklore, advertising and the history of tourism. Along the way we learn how this unique edifice has been threatened down the years by souvenir-hunters, railway builders, speculative builders, showmen and the army - plans were afoot at one stage to ship it wholesale to America. A truly unique and fascinating volume for archaeologists, ancient historians or anyone with a passion for this best known of all Megaliths. Contains 296 pages, 25 x 19.5cms, and over 260 photos, drawings and maps. Ex-library, front endpaper removed, some library markings. Green boards in fair, plastic-protected, illustrated dust jacket. Internally, good: generally clean, bright and unmarked in excellent bindings., Thames&Hudson, 1983, 2.25, Cambridge, Massachusetts: Houghton Mifflin Company - The Riverside Press Cambridge, 1966. First Printing Stated . Hard Back. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 5 3/4" x 8 1/4. 246 Pages. Tan cloth with white lettering to the spine and impressed into the front board the author's last name. Laid in (pasted) are two clippings. One with his photograph that appears to be somewhat of an obituary. The other clipping is a short description of the present book. In and out of these essays wanders The Man with the Calabash Pipe, a sardonic bachelor who refused to light his heater since a likeable mouse is in residence underneath it. His aged friend the Horned Husband Kachina Chief is another recurring character, a walking embodiment of an Indian sense of humor. But the important person is Oliver La Farge himself, talking as if with a friend about the things that concern him most. Contents in 47 Essays: The Man with the Calabash Pipe: I, New Mexico and Santa Fe, Understanding the City Different, Smokeless Cultures, The Man with the Calabash Pipe: II, On Courts - and the Crossbow, The Man with the Calabash Pipe: III, The Bird-Watchers' Wars, Growth of a City: An American Story, The Man with the Calabash Pipe: IV, Santa Fe vs. Santa Fe, Nine Cents and the Machine, Wearing Down the Gas Company, Some Folklore and a Monument, The Season of Fiesta, The Man with the Calabash Pipe: V, Criticism and the Experience of Writing, The Man with the Calabash Pipe: VI, Hearing from the Public, A Ban on Laughing Boy, Regional Writing - Is What?

First Edition. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. First impression. Size: Octavo (standard book size). 288 pages. This book is available and ready to be shipped.. Natasha Hoffman knew that she'd been called to Carnac in northern France. An artist, healer, and "intuitive," Hoffman felt welcome in the presence of the mysterious giant monuments that stand there-- the megalithic standing stones set up around the same time as Stonehenge. Walking among these alignments with her companion, Hamilton Hill, she first heard the voice. "This is a library," she said, "and we can read it." So began the "receiving" of the revelations encoded in certain of the standing stones. Sneaking past barriers, eluding gendarmes, encountering a goblin, even working by moonlight, Hoffman and Hill sought out particular stones. Natasha "read" the information held in them, using a pendulum for question-and-answer dowsing to check it. Hamilton, also a dowser, transcribed it using rods. Readers will be struck by the beauty of the message, its clarity, authority, and compassion. "You are addicted to suffering," the Archangels say, "because you have been made to feel guilty about joy." The message leaves us with renewed hope. With notes on the authors' personal pilgrimages and more than a dozen photographs, The Standing Stones Speak is more than a great adventure; it's a text that may become the New Age Bible.
