Summary: A Stellar Book!
Comment: While the title, not chosen by the author Jay Pasachoff, is less than endearing, the contents are superb. The newcomer to solar astronomy would be well educated after studying this book alone. It comprehensively covers just about all the solar studies that have been and are being done in a remarkably concise manner. This is quite and achievement in a field as dynamic as solar astronomy. Historical work from the Galilleo and Christopher Scheiner up to the modern era are woven in as a backdrop to modern research. In this book you will find discussions on topics from backyard white-light solar observing to the latest work being done by the GONG Network on solar oscillations or results of the SOHO and TRACE satellites, explained in easy to understand language. In fact, many sections are presented as answers to questions that well might be asked at that point by the incisive reader. This and the enjoyable flow of the writing leads the reader from one section and chapter into the next. The book ends with a list of solar observatories and organizations as well as a very good bibliography. While this book may be called "The Complete Idiot's Guide" you will be anything but that when finished!
