Review Comments about ECLIPSE by Bryan Brewer

Review Comments about ECLIPSE (2nd edition, 1991) by Bryan Brewer

Listed as "Recommended Reading" -- NOVA/WGBH Teacher's Guide

"This is the book I turn to most when I get questions about eclipses. Under one cover I find good solid science, excellent illustrations, and clear and interesting writing. Not only that, but it still gives me 'chicken bumps' when Brewer describes that moment when '...sudden darkness seems to bring time and Nature to a quiet halt'."

-- Ken Miller, Planetarium Chairman, Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii

"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 ... a total solar eclipse ... with their own eyes."

-- Fred Espenak, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, author of Fifty Year Canon of Solar Eclipses
