HOYLE ON STONEHENGE

This is a review article on Sir Fred Hoyle's book: On Stonehenge (London: Heinemann, 1977. 128 pp., 50 figs., 9 tables. £4.50). Dr Gordon Moir is a part-time lecturer at Newcastle Polytechnic, and a guest member of staff in the School of Physics, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, where he is working with Dr F. R. Stephenson on the history of astronomy. Dr Moir is also working on the stability of rotating stars. He has had, for some time, an interest in megalithic astronomy, which has taken him to many sites from Wiltshire to the Outer Hebrides. He has also, for the last five years, participated in excavations. He says, ‘I intend to publish further articles on megalithic astronomy, taking a very sceptical standpoint.’ We look forward to reading them. © 1979, Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
