	John Man tells the fascinating story of the discovery and restoration of one of the world's most spectacular archaeological finds - the 6,000 life-size clay warriors that guard the tomb of China's First Emperor. Illustrated with maps, plans and colour photographs, the book explains how this enigmatic and ruthless figure forged China's warring states into a unified nation more than two millennia ago - and hints at the wonders that may still await discovery beneath the unexcavated parts of the emperor's burial mound.

	During a 17-year pilgrimage around Europe, from the far north of Scandinavia to the Mediterranean islands, the award-winning Czech photographer Jan Pohribny captured the magic of megalithic architecture of tombs and temples and standing stones. Beginning with the enigmatic single standing stones - with examples from the Czech Republic, Wales and Majorca as well as the famous menhirs of Brittany - the book contains over 250 magnificent photographs, with an introduction by the archaeologist and broadcaster Julian Richards.
