Great to see something original! Aug 04, 2008 I read Leif Sahlqvist's book "Cardinal alignments and the golden Section" with great fascination and interest! I will certainly keep it close for further reference in the future. It introduces some ground-breaking research and sets it apart from almost anything that has been produced in the field over the last decades. Abound by substantiate facts and figures this book is not to be read as a novel as it is a serious work. Nevertheless, it's a fascinating read and it gets even more exciting as the chapters go by. The author's discovery of prehistoric measurements of the Earth's circumference in northern Europe is of extreme importance - the earliest so far known in the world - and very convincing. So is his evidence concerning early use and application in Scandinavia of the golden section as well as his main thesis about a geometrical and cosmographical tradition. Those who have read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and are interested in going deeper into the non-fiction version and associative fields should definitely read this book. Again, this is not a novel but a book that should be taken seriously and not rushed through. It requires some effort from the reader, who will, however, in return be richly rewarded.
