MEET THE SUN

MEET THE SUNIn this enthralling little book anthropologist and novelist Ruth Finnegan adapts the work of the heliogeologist Claudio Vita-Finzi to introduce young (and older!) readers to the workings of the sun and its many threats and mysteries. In accessible language it tackles such difficult matters as neutrinos cosmic rays and the solar corona in the belief that all its readers will thereby be better equipped to deal with our dangerous star and a few may even be inspired to become solar physicists cancer specialists and astronauts themselves.A book not to be missed by anyone interested in our precious solar planet and its place in the universe.BALESTIER PRESS HEARING OTHERS'.
