Archeo astronomy
the Book presents exactly what it is: an encyclopedia. It presents different points of view for each topic and is well organized. A good reference book to keep when reading other similar material and one needs a cross check.

Archaeoloastronomy at its best!
Clive Ruggles is professor of archaeoastronomy at the University of Leicester and has published numerous astronomy works in past: his ANCIENT ASTRONOMY: AN ENCYCLOPEDIA OF COSMOLOGIES AND MYTH provides over 200 A-Z entries in an updated collection of world case studies revolving around themes ranging from calendars and space/time concepts to key issues of assessing evidence. Jargon-free explanations, discussions of problematic issues, bibliographic references and history and observations make for a reference recommended to a wide audience, from high school through college.
