An excellent introduction as well as a long time companion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
For me as a novice to the subject of solar physics "A guide to the sun" by K.J.H. Phillips provided me with an excellent, concise, and easy to read introduction into this fascinating topic. And with basic knowledge acquired I realized that it covers a lot of topics of current discussion about solar physics like the SOHO mission. This book is an asset which once read will serve you as a reference and long time companion.
