Book Description

May 12, 2009
How does mankind deal with miracles? This question has assumed a more-than-theoretical importance in the life of Michael Glickman, who has been witnessing the miraculous on a regular basis since he investigated his first crop circle in 1990. In the years since then, an intensive study of the crop-circle phenomenon in the region of its most important appearances—the English countryside—has given Glickman extraordinary personal insight into a subject usually known only through secondhand reports and speculation.

More than eight years in the writing, Crop Circles: The Bones of God is unique among books on this modern enigma in that it combines the author’s firsthand field encounters with some of the most famous crop-circle formations (such as Alton Barnes 1990 and Silbury Hill 1997, as well as more recent circles) with intricate and dazzling analyses of the structure and content of those formations. This beautifully illustrated mix of personal narrative with detailed study informs a larger discussion of the role of crop circles in the modern world and their unprecedented promise of new chapters in the history of consciousness.

5.0 out of 5 stars My only complaint is that the book wasn't at least four times longer, July 10, 2009
By 
Dorothy Gamble "dgamble" (Sylva, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crop Circles: The Bones of God (Paperback)
I was looking for a book that presented logically the author's thoughts and findings on the crop circle phenomenon. Michael Glickman does just that. The book is well organized, reads well and has good photographs and illustrations. I especially liked the way in which the overlays were placed on top of the photos to explain the geometrical relationships. My only complaint is that the book wasn't at least four times longer with more crop circles being explained in this same manner. He said in the Introduction: "As I revised this manuscript, I cut it mercilessly, knowing that it had to be leaner and less of a year-by-year catalogue than my original draft." All I can say is bring on the original draft. I read it too quickly and now I am ready to reread it. I would highly recommend this book as a "feet on the ground" way of making some sense of these miraculous events.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glickman has delivered a most wonderful book!, September 7, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crop Circles: The Bones of God (Paperback)
I have studied and researched crop circles for years and I have yet to come across a book as beautifully written and illustrated as this. Michael Glickman goes beyond the usual "ideas" behind the crop circle phenomenon and ventures into breaking down, in layman's terms, the geometry and meaning (by his personal experience) of the designs. Being trained as an architect, he is able to relate the difficulty we would have, in creating these most extraordinary pieces of art.

His command of the English language and his reverence for the designs, the skills behind them, leads us to believe he was chosen to assist us in our understanding. I too wish the book had been longer; you can read it in one sitting but the beauty remains in referring to it's contents over and over again. I would only hope, everyone pick this book up, read it, cherish it and know it is only the beginning.
Thank you Michael.....

4.0 out of 5 stars Love our mentors, May 4, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Crop Circles: The Bones of God (Paperback)
Mr. Glickman's special gift in regard to the Crop Circle phenomenon is his willingness to let his love affair with the circlemakers shine forth for all to see. I believe that for whatever reason Mr. Glickman has a special and unique relationship to the entire phenomenon. To me the book is not a third-hand account of a paranormal phenomenon. It is about a man's special relationship with a special phenomenon. Step by step chronologically Mr. Glickman walks us through the journey he has taken in trying to decipher the messages sent to us in these agricultural mandalas. Each time he uses optimism and hope in his understanding of the patterns it seems he (we) is rewarded with another clue. In the final chapter he shares with us his entire process, from inception to understanding. surrounding a recent pattern which is one of the most fascinating and direct messages to us from these entities to date. This understanding comes about through a team effort via other circle readers, perhaps in itself sending us a message on how we are to proceed in our understanding of messages from beyond. But it seems that the makers have sent Mr. Glickman a direct and personal invitation as well - no longer able to walk, Mr. Glickman stoically refuses to trample the crop with his wheelchair and thus has been unable to visit the crop circles he so completely reveres. And yet in this one supremely tantalizing piece, which is outlined wonderfully in the book, the circlemakers have done something very unusual -- they formed the piece to encompass the main road within the glyphs' confines, thus allowing Mr. Glickman to visit the piece in person. Along with a story he reveals about a direct image of a circle glyph being beamed into his living room we begin to see a pattern of an ongoing playful interaction between a force beyond our comprehension and a man very much within it. Perhaps there are chosen prophets, after all....
