Our knowledge about Stonehenge has changed dramatically as a result of the Stonehenge Riverside Project (2003-2009) led by Mike Parker Pearson & included not only Stonehenge itself but also the nearby great henge enclosure of Durrington Walls. This book is about the people who built Stonehenge & its relationship to the surrounding landscape. The book explores the theory that the people of Durrington Walls built both Stonehenge & Durrington Walls & that the choice of stone for constructing Stonehenge has a significance so far undiscovered namely that stone was used for monuments to the dead. Through years of thorough & extensive work at the site Parker Pearson & his team unearthed evidence of the Neolithic inhabitants & builders which connected the settlement at Durrington Walls with the henge & contextualised Stonehenge within the larger site complex linked by the River Avon as well as in terms of its relationship with the rest of the British Isles. Parker Pearsons book changes the way that we think about Stonehenge; correcting previously erroneous chronology & dating; filling in gaps in our knowledge about its people & how they lived; identifying a previously unknown type of Neolithic building; discovering Bluestonehenge a circle of 25 blue stones from western Wales; & confirming what started as a hypothesis
- that Stonehenge was a place of the dead
- through more than 64 cremation burials unearthed there which span the monuments use during the third millennium BC. In lively & engaging prose Parker Pearson brings to life the imposing ancient monument that continues to hold a fascination for everyone.

'A compelling account of the Stones trashing America during 1972... Greenfield was allowed the kind of access journalists can only dream of today' The Times The Stones' 1972 tour of the States was perhaps their best
- & certainly most notorious
- ever. Their previous visit in 1969 had ended in the nightmare of Altamont; now three years later they had just recorded their two finest albums Sticky Fingers & Exile on Main Street & were musically in their prime
- if also personally at their most dissolute & debauched. Robert Greenfield one of America's finest writers went along for the ride & came back with a riveting account of high living excess & rock & roll fury from the Playboy Mansion to the jail cells of Rhode Isl&. This was an extended tour Party capital P to which all America's hip rich & glitzy were invited from Truman Capote to Stevie Wonder Annie Liebowitz to Hugh Hefner. The result has been acclaimed as one of the all-time classic music books. Published for some years by Helter Skelter under the title A Journey Through America with the Rolling Stones it is now reissued by Aurum under its original title with a new introduction by the author. Robert Greenfield is also the author of Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones & biographies of Timothy Leary & Jerry Garcia. He lives in California.
