Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This is a survey of our current knowledge of the closest and most important star. It unravels the complexities of astrophysics in language that is easy to understand. After reviewing how our knowledge of the Sun has been acquired over the centuries, it explains how the Sun - as viewed from the Earth and from space - is investigated, the key people and instruments involved with these discoveries, the results so far, and what we still have to learn. Fully illustrated and complete with appendices, this text should appeal to the general public, amateur astronomers and students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely readable book for all levels and backgrounds., November 24, 1998
By mondol@mit.edu "mondol" (Cambridge, MA, USA) - See all my reviews
This book is truly wonderful. Easy and fun to read. It is one of the few science books I have read that eschews all mathematical formulae and still does a great job fully explaining the material. I really appreciated the way he explains background material rather than just glossing over it. For example he does a great job explaining magnetic fields from a very basic level. Unfortunately the price seems almost prohibative, I received the book as a gift from a relative in England, I hope it is cheaper there.
