I see what you mean, and agree, it is an incredibly useful book for getting a good grounding in the subject. However, the authors include their own new work (on Woodhenge, and the Larkhill post alignment) so why not extend the courtesy to a few other recent papers/theories?

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care? The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

Dr. Hamouda Al-Dahdar, supervisor of the restoration of the historic Pasha Palace said the Israeli occupation stole approximately 17,000 artifacts from the Pasha Palace Museum in Gaza City, which it deliberately destroyed during the war, and only 20 artifacts were found in the rubble of the palace.

Photo of the lake at the centre of UCD campus. Some big white letters are on the far right of the view. Behind the lake are a series of low concrete and glass buildings.
