5.0 out of 5 stars The best reference on lunar eclipses from here to eternity, June 23, 2000
By Birgir Tómas Arnar (Reykjavík, Iceland) - See all my reviews
This is the most complete catalog of eclipses ever to be published. Excellent presentation of information is given for every lunar eclipse durig the book's time span. This outstanding work will be unmatched for ever!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, and terribly frustrating, May 3, 2005
By Ann Blessing (Columbus OH USA) - See all my reviews
This is the best book on the subject I've had the pleasure to use. It is a careful and complete explanation of complex orbital/rotational experiences. I have two niggling complaints. First, although the discussion of the lunar Saros cycles is as complete as I have ever found, I wanted analysis of the eclipse patterns "on the ground," so to speak. Eclipses do not occur in isolation, but in seasons about six months apart. Each season is comprised of two eclipses (sometimes three), each lunar eclipse in a season paired with a solar eclipse two weeks (half a lunation) before or after. Thus for me the Canon, although superb, only addresses the half the eclipse seasons for 4500 years. This is exceedingly frustrating, because the solar eclipse tabulations available do not cover nearly the span of recorded history, as does the Canon of Lunar Eclipses.
