32. Wendorf and Schild, Holocene Settlement <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Egypt</strong>ian Sahara, vol. 1, “<strong>The</strong> Megalith Alignments” by Wendorf<br />
and Malville. In the chapter Wendorf writes, “<strong>The</strong>re are two parts to this chapter. <strong>The</strong> first, by Wendorf, describes the<br />
megaliths and the other unusual features that may be related to the megalith phenomena. <strong>The</strong> second, by Malville,<br />
documents the relationships <strong>of</strong> the alignments with the positions <strong>of</strong> several stars . . .” So comments from the latter part<br />
<strong>of</strong> that chapter are referenced “by Malville” and the introduction to that chapter is “by Wendorf.”<br />
