The Sun Hardcover – June 1, 2006

Purchased this beautiful book for its stunning photos of our closest star, the Sun! Absolutely gorgeous photos in a small and compact size that demonstrates how a photo is worth a thousand words. If your an individual that enjoys studying our solar system, particularly the Sun, buy this book and enjoy looking at phenomenal photos of our closest star.

My ex seemed to like it. I purchased it as a christmas present, but I enjoyed the photos which are pretty impressive. But its a small book which is not what it appears on the advertisement.

Such a small book! Such a big subject! The Sun is a fascinating and beautiful book, and it is the perfect size to take around with you or leave in your bathroom/coffee table/etc.Each chapter explores a basic facet of the Sun-sunspots, aurora, flares, magnetic storms-and is filled with beautiful and stunning imagery from photographers and satellites.

This book is a well made hard cover with extremely well made and quality pages with vibrant full color images. It is both informative and serves as an excellent coffee table type book on the Sun. The iages are exceptional and well printed. The authors essays are enjoyable and informative.

It's a nice small coffee table book, long on pictures, short on words. It was worth buying just skim to through the color photo collection, some of which I have seen nowhere else. The details revealed by some of the high resolution photos are simply incredible.

This book, although a little smaller (in size, not in page count) than I expected, didn't disappoint me in terms of illustration. The images are amazing, and all the texts are very nice to read. Excellent for a gift.

Excellent book with outstanding photographs. The size is perfect for browsing. I do public solar observing in local parks and this will be a helpful addition to our events.

Very interesting mini book.

Amazing book,brilliant pictures of what the sun can do to the scenery,fast delivery and a good price,well worth it,nice coffee table book

表紙の画像がよかったので買ってみました。正方形なせいなのか手に持ってみてしっくりこないような気がします。中身の方は太陽と太陽にまつわるいろいろな事象(天候、オーロラ、太陽観測の歴史、日食etc.)について美しい写真とともに解説しています。なかでも燃え盛る太陽の写真がいい。（特にクローズアップの写真がすごい）何しろ凝視するわけにはいかない相手ですからこうしてまじまじと見ることができるのは素敵なことです。残念ながら印刷の状態がよくないページがあったのと裁断不良が1ヶ所あったので星を減らさざるを得ません。

Dad is a star gazer he wasn't overly impressed with the book not enough text, the picture quality was excellent though
