Get in the Path of Totality

EDITORIAL REVIEWS

"ECLIPSE is a wonderfully entertaining introduction to Nature's greatest spectacle, rich in historical details and anecdotes while presenting satisfying explanations of how eclipses occur and why they've been of such great importance to science. Everyone reading this delightful work will surely find themselves craving to see the great American total solar eclipse of 2024 with their own eyes."

—Fred Espenak, Bifrost Astronomical Observatory

Author of Eclipse Bulletin: Total Solar Eclipse of 2024 April 08

"ECLIPSE is a great book to get the information you need to view the April 8, 2024, eclipse. Fascinating history, understandable explanation of what causes eclipses, and safe viewing information all packaged in a concise, informative manner."

—Dennis Schatz, Senior Advisor Emeritus, Pacific Science Center

Co-author of When the Sun Goes Dark

"Bryan Brewer's book is an indispensable guide, nicely covering all the important aspects of solar eclipses. It is a masterful mixture of technical details, eclipses as they've been observed through history, eclipse lore found in the literature and mythology of many cultures, and, most importantly for many, how one should enjoy the upcoming great American total solar eclipse."

—Woody Sullivan, Professor Emeritus, University of Washington

Author of Cosmic Noise: A History of Early Radio Astronomy

"I like to think of Bryan Brewer's book as a map of the influences and rhythms contained in eclipses. When we look at the heavens, we look at a cosmic clock that has marked every evolutionary development upon this mundane surface. That clock is still ticking, as the eclipse reminds us. The starry heavens are as much yours to enjoy as they are an astronomer's, which is a basic message of this informative book."

—Frank Herbert, author of Dune (from the Foreword to the First Edition of ECLIPSE)
