I first was introduced to W. Corliss when I read the Handbook of Unusual Natural Phenomena. At that time, I was sold on this resource. Corliss takes no stand, he merely reports the facts at hand according to the many reports by various researchers. I was particularly fond of the lack of parapsychic claptrap and UFO BS. This series is an honest evaluation of unexplained anamolies of many types. Each volume is complete unto itself, and fascinating. Every person who asked what I was reading was intrigued. To be uninterested in the subject is hard to understand if you have any spark of imagination and scientific inquiry of your own. Anyone with an active and alert mind will find something to take with them forever... Read them all, if you can find them...I am still looking for three more in the series...Why have they not been reprinted? Beats me...This volume covers ancient structures I never dreamed existed....from the tiny to the huge...ancient undeciphered writings, things out of place, and some are treated from both sides, belief and denial of their validity...Easy reading, and a hefty volume. A real page turner for me....If you love a mystery, take on this book..it contains hundreds of real ones....
