Throughout the summer months every year, in fields of oilseed rape, barley and wheat, a rash of ever more elaborate circles and designs appears.

This book is about the art of crop cirles: it features images from England with a little information about each event. In the introduction, it doesn't dig too deep into the 'why?' and 'how?' of this phenomenon, so if you're looking at science and theories on that, this isn't the book for you.
