A fresh look at the World Heritage Site that includes Avebury henge, West Kennet long barrow and Silbury Hill. Mann combines archaeology, astronomy and anthropology to offer an original and convincing account of the building of these extraordinary Neolithic monuments. The ancient Britons were inspired by a profound knowledge of the heavens when they erected the monumental stones of Avebury. Mann throws light on the motive behind the creation of its awe-inspiring mounds and megaliths by demonstrating that they were aligned to the cycles of the Sun, Moon and stars. This book will help visitors and readers to see Avebury in a wholly new light - the light of the heavenly bodies that guided its Neolithic builders. Avebury Cosmos will reawaken our ancient reverence for the stars and deepen our respect for the extraordinary abilities and forgotten knowledge of our prehistoric ancestors.

For one brief moment in the third millennium BCE the galaxy levelled around the horizon, bringing into view stars that would not be visible again in the northern hemisphere for twenty thousand years. The spectacular Southern Cross dominated the night sky, and it is the contention of this book that this event was marked by the Neolithic people of Britain by monuments such as Avebury. Avebury Henge marries archaeology with astronomy to show that the people who built Avebury, West Kennet long barrow and Silbury Hill aligned them not only with the cycles of the sun, moon and planets, but also with the stars.

An original and radical interpretation of the two spectacular ancient monuments which are found virtually next door to each other in the Wiltshire countryside. The book suggests that they were the work of not only a very successful Neolithic society but also of an extremely sophisticated one. Important celestial and geometric patterns in the layout of Avebury are revealed and, for the first time ever, the bizarre shape of the outer circle and the strange positioning of the two inner ones begins to make sense. At the same time a solution is offered to the enduring mystery that is Silbury Hill, based simply on its undeniable geometric proportions. The overall result is to indicate that these two nearby monuments, built at different times but probably by the same culture, each had a different but complementary focus. The key conclusions are based very firmly on the surviving evidence and can readily be checked against that. At the same time, in a work of this kind, a certain amount of speculation cannot be avoided but it is always clearly indicated as such and the reader left to make up his/her own mind. There are many photographs and diagrams: the former used to give a vivid impression of both sites, the latter to illustrate and clarify various suggested interpretations. For this reason the e-book will be best enjoyed on a device which supports colour reproduction. The Kindle Previewer indicates that the formatting works very well on the Kindle Fire range of tablets and also on IPad. It does require a reasonably large screen for full appreciation.An earlier version of Part 2 of the book, which forms the last two chapters and is concerned with Silbury Hill, was originally published separately under the same title: 'In Plain View. The Secret of Silbury Hill.' This has since been refined and developed.

The globalization of social, cultural and economic relations is facilitated, and at the same time conditioned by developments in the information and communications technologies (ICT) and infrastructure. Human knowledge brought mankind from an oral to a literate culture, thanks to the invention of print media. The development of the electronic media in the 20th century paved the way for the information age, in which spatial and temporal constraints are lifted. This work explores the consequences of this revolution in human communications, which are multidimensional in character, affecting economical, political and social life on national, international and local levels. The text is part of a series of volumes arising from the intellectual work of ECCR members.
