How does mankind deal with miracles? This question has assumed a
more-than-theoretical importance in the life of Michael Glickman, who
has been witnessing the miraculous on a regular basis since he
investigated his first crop circle in 1990. In the years since then, an
intensive study of the crop-circle phenomenon in the region of its most
important appearances--the English countryside--has given Glickman
extraordinary personal insight into a subject usually known only through
secondhand reports and speculation.
More than eight years in the writing, Crop Circles: The Bones of God
is unique among books on this modern enigma in that it combines the
author's firsthand field encounters with some of the most famous
crop-circle formations (such as Alton Barnes 1990 and Silbury Hill 1997,
as well as more recent circles) with intricate and dazzling analyses of
the structure and content of those formations. This beautifully
illustrated mix of personal narrative with detailed study informs a
larger discussion of the role of crop circles in the modern world and
their unprecedented promise of new chapters in the history of
consciousness.
