Book excerpt: This account of holy sites and mysterious ruins aims to capture the spirit of the places themselves. It explains their myths and legends and shows their continuing importance down the ages. Part One examines over 100 key sites and shows how they came to be regarded as sacred and their subsequent history. The sites are divided geographically into sections, such as Africa and the Middle East, Europe and Australia, and the Pacific. Each of these areas is introduced by a hand-drawn map showing all of the sites described and other areas of interest, such as ancient burial grounds, temples and natural sites. Part Two is a map-based gazetteer of over 1000 sacred sites. The sites are plotted over 20 maps, which are then followed by listings giving information about each holy place. The maps show the location of each site and the period in which it was built or used.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Machui Picchu - the Inca stronghold in the Peruvian Andes - to the Pyramids in Egypt - the site of the dawn of civilization - there are certain places on Earth which continue to exert a mysterious hold over us through the centuries. In an easy-to-use reference form, this text tells the stories and the places where the foundations of religions and beliefs have been laid - both the famous, such as Easter Island, Lourdes in France, and England's Stonehenge, and the less well known, such as The Devil's Tower in Wyoming, an ancient Indian sacred ground which featured in the UFO movie Close Encounters with perhaps a closer link than was intended by the film makers.

Book excerpt: From Roman temples to Buddhist shrines in the Chinese desert, these hallowed halls have been abandoned to nature. More than 200 outstanding images show what happens to sacred places when humanity retreats. What happens when the congregation moves away from its place of worship? Or when shifting borders or persecution mean that people can no longer reach their church, synagogue, or mosque? Through magnificent, sometimes haunting images, Abandoned Sacred Places explores more than 100 lost worlds, including ancient and modern temples, synagogues, churches, mosques, and stone circles. Organized geographically, this unforgettable volume wanders from Stonehenge in England and Carnac in France to crumbling inner-city churches and synagogues in present-day Detroit and Chicago, from Mayan pyramids in Mexico to Hindu temples lost in the Indian jungle.
