Shadow Sites


Book Description

At certain times of the day - at sunrise, and sunset - the outlines of prehistoric fields, barrows and hill-forts in the British landscape may be thrown into relief. Such 'shadow sites', best seen from above, and captured by an airborne camera, are both examples of, and metaphors for, a particular way of seeing the landscape. At a time of rapid modernisation and urbanisation in mid-twentieth-century Britain, an archaeological vision of the British landscape reassured and enchanted a number of writers, artists, photographers, and film-makers. From John Piper, Eric Ravilious and Shell guide books, to photographs of bomb damage, aerial archaeology, and The Wizard of Oz, Kitty Hauser delves into evocative interpretations of the landscape and looks at the affinities between photography as a medium to capture traces of the past as well as their absence.




Exploration Without Boundaries


Book Description

Exploration Without Boundaries invites you on a journey of reflection and fantasy through 48 digital landscapes - dreamlike yet reminiscent of familiar places. Hilary Rhodes has created an evocative place that is truly not of this world. Share her vision through environments that are non-photographic and totally invented, created pixel by pixel via fractal texture synthesis. Each environment features background music generated from the profiles of the landforms using special synaesthetic software.




The Old Straight Track


Book Description

First published in 1925 THE OLD STRAIGHT TRACK remains the most important source for the study of ancient tracks or leys that criss-cross the British Isles- a fascinating system which was old when the Romans came to Britain. First in the Herefordshire countryside, and later throughout Britain, Alfred Watkins noticed that beacon hills, mounds, earthworks, moats and old churches built on pagan sites seemed to fall in straight lines. His investigation convinced him that Britain was covered with a vast network of straight tracks, aligned with either the sun or the path of a star. Although traces of this network can be found all over the country, the principles behind the ley system remain a mystery. Are they the legacy of a prehistoric scientific knowledge which is now all but lost? And was their purpose secular or religious?

Ley Lines of the UK and USA


Book Description

Since the Stone Age our ancestors have tapped into the natural energies of the planet, building stone circles, standing stones, pyramids and temples in a highly evolved and brilliantly executed network of energy centers around the world. Thousands of years later, this ancient knowledge was brutally suppressed by the early Catholic church and ignored by science. But it still lingered on, kept by such secret societies as the Knights Templar and the Masons, who designed buildings and whole cities incorporating this esoteric knowledge, hidden in plan view. Here, Cowan brings together his own extensive work with the findings of other researchers, and reveals his discovery that the energy lines emanate from volcanic sources that spew out natural telluric energies in all directions, like the spokes of a wheel! Chapters include: Megalithic Engineering; Burial Grounds across Scotland; Following a Straight Ley Line to its Source; Saint Columba and Iona; The Royal Triangle of Great Britain; The Strange Behavior of Ley Lines; The Dance of the Dragon; Ley Lines in the USA; The Secret Knowledge of the Freemasons; Spirit Paths; The Occult Knowledge of the Nazis; How to Use Diving Rods; The Amazing Power of the Maze; more. Tons of illustrations, all in color!
