Leon Golub is a Senior Astrophysicist at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Obser-vatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Jay M. Pasachoff is Field Memorial Professor of Astronomy and Director of the Hopkins Observatory at Williams College, Williams-town, Massachusetts. Together they are the authors of The Solar Corona (2nd edn 2010) and Nearest Star: The Surprising Science of Our Sun (2nd edn 2014).
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 Earth. The authors, both leading experts, enliven their succinct exposition with a historical perspective, showing how our present understanding has emerged. --Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal"
