Biztonságos vásárlás The Old Straight Track

Watkins presents a methodical and thorough exposition of his theories of ley lines, following an earlier much shorter publication, „Early British Trackways” (1922). The book has a preface, thirty chapters, four appendices and an index. There are many figures, and photographs taken by the author. The book is considered the first book written about leys, and the first book to document and map alleged ley lines in Britain, primarily southern England. According to a review in The Geographical Journal of the Royal Geographical Society, Watkins sought to prove that „mounds, moats, beacons and markstones fall into strait tracks, i.e. sighted lines, throughout Britain, with fragmentary evidence of trackways on the alignments.”[2] The book was disregarded by archaeologists but saw a resurgence of interest with the rise of New Age ideas in the 1960s.[3] Watkins’ ideas also influenced contemporary psychogeography, including Iain Sinclair’s Lud Heat (1975), which in turn influenced Peter Ackroyd’s novel Hawksmoor (1985)
