CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)

requires patience but a good intro  
Being a collection of essays by writers of varying talent, this book is not what you'd call a page-turner, unless you have a healthy curiosity about sun-earth physics. I found it a very useful introduction to the field, and plan to use it to guide undergraduate research (I'm a physicist with a doctorate, teaching at an institution with an undergraduate physics program.)The authors have avoided the use of equations, and for me that was a drawback, but for undergrads or laymen, it might be helpful. Lots of very interesting physics here.
