5.0 out of 5 stars
Review of "The Sun in Time" University of Arizona Press,
By Edward Williams (Dearborn, Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sun in Time (Space Science Series) (Hardcover)
This is a superb text whose editors have done yeoman duty coalescing the work of the best scientists in the field. The articles within this tome are remarkably accessible to the layperson, such as myself, keenly interested in astronomy, its history, and its current research. The authors of the articles in this encyclopedic work have exercised commendable care in documenting their sources, back to and including Galileo's pioneering work to discover that, contrary to the doctrine of the time, the Sun's disc isn't free of "blemishes." This is the first work (of many) I've studied which made crystal-clear how the variation in sunspot paths across the disc during the year served to support some conjectures and refute others concerning the Sun.
