Book Reviews of The Deepening Complexity of Crop Circles: Scientific Research and Urban Legends

Book Review: A very nice book!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have read the Italian version of this book, and I am surprised by the earlier review, which states that "75% of the time, the author tried to tell us that the phenomena is true through some of his personal (non-scientific) experiences." This is simply not true, and I don't think it is fair to write this in a book review. I have met the author here in Italy when he was giving a lecture, and he was very modest, yet extremely convincing. I therefore think this needs to be corrected.

First of all, the author only refers to personal experiences in one single section of the book, and clearly puts this section explicitly in the proper context, right at the beginning. The rest of the book is based on very clear and verifiable facts, which have all been published in scientific literature.

Secondly, the author makes it very clear that he is not trying to convince anyone. He says so explicitly, several times, and the entire work clearly carries this attitude. The reader is explicitly invited to make up his own mind.

I was also surprised by the statement "I wish he would have rather explained the scientific reasoning behind it". This is exactly what the book does, all the time, and in an excellent and understandable way too!

I recommend this book to everybody. It makes a very strong case that there exist advanced ways to create crop circles, and that there is much more to it than a few men with boards and ropes. I think that anyone who reads the book cannot refuse this statement any longer. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would do it right away. Well done!

Summary of The Deepening Complexity of Crop Circles: Scientific Research and Urban Legends

Though they are not just a recent phenomenon, during the past few decades new crop circles have been reported worldwide at the rate of about one per day, creating considerable controversy over their origin and cause. Theoretical experimental physicist Eltjo Haselhoff presents a comprehensive overview of these beautiful and mysterious formations. His research includes a scientific investigation of germination anomalies, the dead fly enigma, peculiar deposits, geometrical ratios, and balls of light. In addition, he reports on the first-person accounts of people who have witnessed their appearance and even ventures into the study of the psychic perspective. Haselhoff comes to some fascinating conclusions in the last chapter, 'Circular Arguments.' After reading this book, you will definitely agree with Conclusion Six: 'Something very strange going on.'
