I found the writing style of this superb book particularly to my liking and so easy on the eye that I finished it in just two sittings a very unusual occurrence for me indeed. [] There is no question about this at all; if you have even the slightest interest in our closest star then this book really should be in your collection!, Although this work is academic to the extent that it could easily be used as a reference textbook, it is written so professionally that it reads more like a well-crafted novel!, 'Review from previous edition The best book on solar eclipses ever written.'Leif Robinson, Editor in Chief of Sky & Telescope'This is the book! Everything you ever wanted to know about eclipses. You can always count on these writers to give you the best.'Jack Horkheimer, writer and host of "StarGazer" on PBS, Review from previous edition: "The best book on solar eclipses ever written." --Leif Robinson, Editor in Chief of Sky and Telescope, "The updated third edition of this already well-established reference and guide for total eclipse enthusiasts explores the history and mythology of the phenomenon, the science and scientists involved in the study of solar eclipses, how to photograph and videotape them, and when and where to see the next ones."--SciTech Book News, "The updated third edition of this already well-established reference and guide for total eclipse enthusiasts explores the history and mythology of the phenomenon, the science and scientists involved in the study of solar eclipses, how to photograph and videotape them, and when and where to see the next ones."-- SciTech Book News, "This is the book! Everything you ever wanted to know about eclipses. You can always count on these writers to give you the best." --Jack Horkheimer, writer and host of "StarGazer" on PBS, ...continues to prove itself to be an indispensible guide and reference book for solar eclipse observation today...Totality covers every aspect of solar eclipses and addresses a wide audience with an interest in astronomy...If you intend to witness the total solar eclipse next year in India, China and Japan, I highly recommend Totality to be included in your backpack.
