About this book
Reviews
"... this eloquent book ... gives us some most beautiful imagery and accompanying scientific dialogue (...) There are few such elementary books on science available which can simultaneously teach and inspire."
Irish Astronomical Journal, 1998
"An excellent guide to present-day studies of the Sun and our star's impact on Earth's space environment ... colorful (and useful) images and a thoughtful organization ... A great read, written with enthusiasm and knowledge."
SKY & TELESCOPE
"A gem of a book ... This is a book to buy, not to borrow, because you will want to return to it. If you want to learn about the Sun and don't want a textbook on astrophysics, this is the book for you."
Simon Mitton, J. BRITISH ASTRO. SOC.
