This review is from: Mysterious Lights and Crop Circles (Paperback)
There are lots of opinions, both from skeptics and believers alike surrounding the phenomena known as crop circles. This book will not necessarily sway you one way or the other but it will add fuel to the debate especially for the skeptics. I agree with the good Dr. Haselhoff from the Netherlands, whose outstanding book, "The Deepening Complexity of Crop Circles, Scientific Research and Urban Legends," states that the question of "light phenomena" in photographs and the "plasma theory" a little out there. Contrary to some reviewers opinions regarding the ho-hum nature of the people relating their experiences I found the style down to earth. The peoples experiences make the book easy to read, personal and it touches you as being real. The mysterious unknown is brought down to earth by the ordinary. It gives you a sense of being there.The part of the book that explains the goings on and an historical overview of Glastonbury is very interesting, especially for someone like me who is on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. The history surrounding Chalice Well and the Vesica Piscis design is something that stimulates thought concerning the origins of the phenomena. The color photographs are very special. Since there are no answers to the origins of the crop circles this book does not really give one. What does seem to be evident is that some type of electromagnetic field is responsible and that we are probably not rationally or scientically equipped to understand why they are showing up, let alone what they mean. Is it some type of communication? Yes, as the crop circles convey sheer beauty, magnificent symetry and mystery beyond our comprehension. Recommended reading for those that are interested in some beautiful designs that could have some deeper meaning.
