Describes some of the hundreds of mysterious circles that have appeared in wheat fields in Southern England, and shares current theories about the unexplained phenomena
Interesting book. And a really well thought out one on the subject. He gives just the facts that he has found and makes no claims to anything he cannot prove. He gives details of the different types of patterns, what his team has observed, what they have tried in order to duplicate teh circle, and who else has shared information with them. He goes through a few science based theories but shows how most of them can be discounted based on evidence and trials.
I also liked that he encourages more scientific groups to study these circles. Some may have more resources than others and may shed more light on how the plants could be bent and, at times, twisted together, without any damage to the plants. The real ones have very defined characteristics that the hoax ones (man made with 3 or 4 methods) just cannot duplicate. He explains how they have tried these methods themselves and what the results were.
Very thorough, very clear and easy to follow. Well done for that author.
A bench mark work on the phenomenon. Collin Andrews is an expert on crop circles having been there at the early stages of the events in England. Meticulously researched both outdoors and in the lab. The reader is gently carried through the details in a straight forward manner. A must read for the those who wish to study crop circles.
This book has an incredible wealth of that regarding the beginning of the research, it made crop circles a thing. For the researcher it is fundamental. The plates are beautiful and the writing is careful and informative. A must-have. The photo documentation is also thrilling.
