There are several billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. One of
them is the middle-aged G2V yellow dwarf that rules our lives. The
Sun Today discusses the Sun's appearance and composition, its
internal workings, and the various kinds of radiation it emits, and
it puts forward a novel explanation for coronal heating. The book
draws on the findings of telescopic observation, space missions,
and technical and theoretical advances in many fields, and shows
why we need to know more if we are to understand and manage our
foothold in the Universe. From the reviews of other books by
Claudio Vita-Finzi: The Sun - A User's Manual (2008) ....this,
jargon-free, concise, beautifully illustrated and eminently
readable book... D.W. Hughes, Times Literary Supplement Solar
History (2013) ....a book that is supremely informative, intensely
stimulating and enjoyable to read... Ian Seymour, Astronomy Now A
History of the Solar System (2016) ...there is a huge amount of
useful information in this book that would benefit anyone who
needed more detail than is available in a typical popular science
title. Brian Clegg, Popular Science
