| Abstract Note | 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.

| Title | Solar History : An Introduction |
| Author(s) | Vita-Finzi, Claudio |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2013. |
| Description | X, 90 p. 31 illus., 28 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Beyond the four centuries of sunspot observation and the five decades during which artificial satellites have monitored the Sun ??? that is to say for 99.99999% of the Sun???s existence ??? our knowledge of solar history depends largely on analogy with kindred main sequence stars, on the outcome of various kinds of modelling, and on indirect measures of solar activity. They include the analysis of lunar rocks and meteorites for evidence of solar flares and other components of the solar cosmic-ray (SCR) flux, and the measurement of cosmogenic isotopes in wood, stratified ice and marine sediments to evaluate changes in the galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) flux and thus infer changes in the sheltering magnetic fields of the solar wind. In addition, shifts in the global atmospheric circulation which appear to result from cyclic fluctuations in solar irradiance have left their mark in river sediments and in??the isotopic composition of cave deposits. In this volume the results these sources have already produced have been summarised, paying special attention to those that reflect processes in different parts of the Sun???s interior and??that display??periodicities and trends which may enable us to forecast future large-scale environmental changes |

| Title | The Sun : A User's Manual |
| Author(s) | Vita-Finzi, Claudio |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2008. |
| Description | VIII, 160 p. 30 illus., 20 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The Sun is an account of the many ways in which our nearest star affects our planet, how its influence has changed over the last few centuries and millennia, and the extent to which we can predict its future impact. The Sun's rays foster the formation of Vitamin D by our bodies, but it can also promote skin cancer, cataracts, and mutations in our DNA. Besides providing the warmth and light essential to most animal and plant life, solar energy contributes substantially to global warming. Although the charged particles of the solar wind shield us from harmful cosmic rays, solar storms may damage artificial satellites and cripple communication systems and computer networks. The Sun is the ideal renewable energy source, but its exploitation is still bedevilled by the problems of storage and distribution. Our nearest star, in short, is a complex machine which needs to be treated with caution, and this book will equip every reader with the knowledge that is required to understand the benefits and dangers it can bring |
