Nearly a decade in the making, award-winning author Dianne Ebertt Beeaff's transcending new book, Spirit Stones, explores the enduring lessons of Europe's prehistoric monoliths, stone circles and burial chambers. Beeaff's fastidious research, first-hand accounts and prevailing love of history capture not only the architectural essence of these archeological treasures, but also their spiritual strength. Uniting civilization throughout the ages, the stone relics being rediscovered throughout Western Europe speak not only of our Neolithic and Bronze Age past, but also of contemporary humanity. The lessons of these ancient stones can help our present-day society unearth and cultivate its own spiritual potential…with reverence, celebration and hope.

Whether it is Hadrian's Wall, Kendal Castle or the beautiful fells of the Lake District – for thousands of years people have found a certain elegance and utility in stone. Nestled amongst these common relics are a multitude of massive stone monuments, built over 3,000 years before British shores were ever touched by Roman sandals. Cumbria's 'megalithic' monuments are among Europe's greatest and best-preserved ancient relics but are often poorly understood and rarely visited. Cumbria's Prehistoric Monuments aims to dispel the idea that these stones are merely 'mysterious'. Instead, within this book you will find credible answers, using up-to-date research, excavation notes, maps and diagrams to explore one of Britain's richest archaeological landscapes. Featuring stunning original photography and newly illustrated diagrams of every megalithic site in the county, Adam Morgan Ibbotson invites you to take a journey into a land sculpted by ancient hands.

To answer these questions, Peter Marshal sailed in a small boat from Scotland to Malta and visited all the major megalithic sites on the way. The result is this book. During his epic quest and 4000-mile voyage, Marshall comes up with some starting conclusions and his well-researched book - part adventure story and part historical detective work.
