Interesting book - purchase supports EI Foundation One final important remark: This book is published by EI Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting the conservation of Easter Island and its amazing archeological heritage. It is also relatively old in layout and style, since the Foundation seems to me focused more of scholarly issues than in the area of marketing, which seems to me fair enough.
Disappointing contents amidst much white space This A4-sized slim book is disappointing. Thirty illustrations occupy 19 of its 76 pages, covers included. Twenty-three of those illustrations are small, low-quality, black-and-photographs, typically 60x90mm or 70mmx110mm, which is roughly 2.5x3.5 and 3x4.5 inches. The only colour photograph, on the front cover, of a moai, has nothing to do with astronomy. Lavish use of white space reduces the textual contents to perhaps two dozen full pages.
Rather disappointed and quickly glancing through the text for
information I immediately noticed two disturbing inaccuracies. Figure 30, p.50 has
this caption: "The Trilithon on the main island of the Republic of
Tonga". Tonga is a kingdom, not a republic. The author knows it too, as
he writes on page 48: "In 1967 the current monarch, King Taufa'a hau
Tupou IV, took interest in the Trilithon". Such discrepancies
cast a shadow over the reliability of the rest, which is not presented
in an organized fashion easily amenable to scrutiny. Much is second
hand, some is vacuous. Thus p.36: "Modern astronomers know that an
extremely rare astronomical event took place over the Pacific Ocean in
the morning skies of September 13, 1170 A.D. Mars, at the time not far
from the Pleiades, passed directly in front of Jupiter. Just as the
first light of dawn was appearing, these two big planets [...]
appeared to the naked eye as one. This event surely must have galvanized
the Islanders. If only someone had recorded what the astronomer-priests
had to say about that." Low-quality photographs, inaccurate commentaries, a bare two dozen pages of text presented in disorganized fashion. I feel cheated. ... Read more |
