Circles of Note: Bibliography on the Crop Circles
|
|
Updated June 9, 1991
|
|
|
|
Michael Chorost
|
|
|
|
Bibliographies always look rather dry. However, a careful reader
|
|
can learn much from this one, since many of the entries have parentheti-
|
|
cal summaries attached to them. Also, a close look at the topics will
|
|
reveal the diversity of the crop circles phenomenon and the responses it
|
|
has gathered. Finally, the sections on books, magazines, and studies
|
|
include price and ordering information, where known.
|
|
|
|
I should note two sets of exclusions. First, I have not indexed
|
|
articles from journals devoted to cerealogy. Much of the best information
|
|
has been printed in their pages; back numbers can often be obtained by
|
|
writing to the editors. Second, I have tended to include newspaper arti-
|
|
cles only of particular interest or informativeness, such as ones reporting
|
|
circles in detail, non-English circles, or noteworthy points of view.
|
|
|
|
Inclusion in this bibliography does not imply endorsement.
|
|
|
|
I am indebted to my contacts and colleagues in England, Canada,
|
|
and the United States, who generously sent me many of the articles listed
|
|
here. I would be grateful to receive any corrections and additions, which
|
|
will be included in future updates. Contact me at:
