Book Review: Should be listed as fiction
Summary: 1 Stars

This is marketed as natural history / history . The author himself has admitted that parts of it are just made up. Major disappointment.

Summary of Ceremonial Time: Fifteen Thousand Years on One Square Mile

Ceremonial Time is the moment when past, present and future can be perceived simultaneously. Experienced only rarely, usually during ancient dances or rituals, such an escape from time to time is the gift of John Mitchell's extraordinary writing. In the tradition of Desert Solitaire or Sand County Almanac, Ceremonial Time combines reverence for place, powerful narrative, and fascinating detail into a classic of natural/human history.
