Steele Hill Book order (chronological)

Awe-inspiring and familiar, comforting yet sometimes frightening, the sun is the center around which all life revolves. Now, an expert on solar images teams up with a noted science writer to present a photographic book devoted entirely to the sun, illustrating the star we know and revealing recent discoveries.Dramatic images from photographers, observatories, and satellites are organized as viewed first from the ground, then from earth's atmosphere and the edge of space, and finally from the surface of the sun itself. Through these images and a clear, precise text, the authors explore the intricate dance between the sun and earth, examining this relationship in both mythical and scientific terms. Perhaps best of all, the book's compact, square size makes The Sun as inviting to hold as it is to read.

Die Sonne ist das Zentrum, um welches sich das Leben auf der Erde dreht. Sie bestimmt das Wetter, nährt die Pflanzen, wärmt den Boden und die Luft. In diesem reich illustrierten Band bieten die Wissenschaftsjournalisten Steele Hill und Michael Carlowicz ein umfassendes Porträt unseres nächsten Sterns. Seine Bedeutung in der Kulturgeschichte der Menschheit wird dabei ebenso erläutert wie die physikalischen Vorgänge in seinem Umfeld und ihre Auswirkungen auf die Erdatmosphäre.
