Newgrange is a 5,200-year-old Neolithic monument located in Ireland’s Boyne Valley, famed for illumination of its passage-chamber by the winter solstice sun. In addition to its archeological
and astronomical significance, Murphy (coauthor, Island of the Setting Sun: In Search of Ireland’s Ancient Astronomers) treats Newgrange as a spiritual place relevant to near-death experiences
which holds messages for today. Includes color illustrations. Distributed by Dufour. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
