Reviews
From the reviews:"Magli … a theoretical physicist by training, turned to archeoastronomy a decade ago, the topic that marries astronomy to architecture, landscape, ancient astronomical lore, and culture. In this work, a translation of the 2005 Italian version, the author begins with what might be considered standard subjects for archeoastronomy: a survey of a wide range of ancient cultures and their remnants … . Two appendixes … and excellent line drawings and photographs are useful. … Summing Up: Highly recommended. General readers." (M.-K. Hemenway, Choice, Vol. 47 (2), October, 2009)Professor Magli … graduated to relativistic astrophysics, before 'seeing the light'. His book … takes us on a guided tour of the world's archaeoastronomical monuments. … His book is a comprehensive, well-illustrated, well-referenced, easily accessible intellectual joy. … The constructors of Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids lived only a hundred or so generations ago. … The quest to understand their astronomy, their minds, and their motivations is difficult and rewarding and worthy of encouragement. … Magli's excellent book is an ideal place to start.
