HOW TO BUILD A SUN by Spencer Weart

HOW TO BUILD A SUN

By

Publisher: Coward, McCann & Geoghegan

A very human book, dealing not simply with the sun -- what it is like now and what it may be like in billions of years -- but with the life of the scientist as well. Weart, an astrophysicist, writes in the first person of the work he and his colleagues do -- developing a model of the sun where measurement is emphasized.
