Published by Penguin Books , 2016, softcover, illustrated, index, 296 pages, condition: as new.

At the heart of the Sun, a vast nuclear furnace casts out the warmth, light and magnetism that nurture life on Earth. Supported by data from laboratories, telescopes, probes and thousands of years of naked-eye observations, solar physicist Lucie Greenâs authoritative guide to the science of the Sun provides answers to questions posed since the dawn of Why does the Sun shine? What is the source of its heat? How long will it shine?

This book covers every aspect of knowledge/information about the Sun. From the first tentative steps taken by humans to fathom it's own star to the details of inner workings and the tremendous reach of the solar atmosphere has been covered in easy conversational style. The description of difficult concepts like magnetic field reconnection have been deftly handled using easy to understand analogies.
The tale has many a personal touches and the author has been able to communicate her enthusiasm for this very specialised subject strongly.
It is probably the only non-academic book dealing exclusively with the Sun. A must read for everybody interested in science writings and the state of knowledge about solar physics.
However, this book shouldn't be read on b/w ebook reader. Lots of details are lost without colour. I'd to switch to my android tablet from Kindle paperwhite midway.
