Klappentext zu „Solar Astrophysics “
This revised edition describes our current understanding of the sun -- from its deepest interior, via the layers of the directly observable atmosphere to the solar wind, right up to its farthest extension into interstellar space. It includes a comprehensive account of the history of solar astrophysics and space weather, along with an overview of the key instruments used throughout the various periods. In contrast to other books on the subject, the choice of material deals evenly with the entire scope of important topics covered in solar research, elucidating the advances in our understanding of the sun by the careful use of relatively simple physical concepts.
The result is an incisive, reliable, and well-planned look at all that is fascinating and new in studies of the sun for students and non-specialists.

Rezension zu „Solar Astrophysics “
"Das Buch setzt solide physikalische Grundkenntnisse voraus, es wird wegen seiner verständlichen und exakten Darstellung aber weiterhin für einen breiten Leserkreis vom Amateurastronomen und Physikstudenten bis zum erfahrenen Astrophysiker ein nützliches Handbuch bleiben."Jürgen StaudePhysik Journal August/September 2004
Pressezitat
"A valuable resource for academic libraries. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." ( Choice , 1 December 2013)"The revised book now also provides an overview of recent results on "space weather" and on sun-climate relations, both of which are fields of increasing societal importance." ( ETDE Energy Database , 1 July 2013)
