The Sun by Jay M Pasachoff
The Sun offers an engaging and informative account of what scientists know about the sun, and the history of these discoveries. Illustrated with a wide variety of beautiful solar images. This informative book will appeal to both scientists and a more general readership interested in the star at the centre of our solar system.
This clearly written and finely illustrated book should fascinate and enlighten anyone who has wondered about the Sun and the obvious (and less obvious) ways in which it affects us on EarthThe authors, both leading experts, enliven their succinct exposition with a historical perspective, showing how our present understanding has emerged. --Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal"
