User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book discusses the physical and chemical makeup of the Sun in our solar system and how this applies to other stars found in the universe. A person who reads this book must have a small amount of general science. The book was written to appeal to the general population who is curious about the stars and their makeup. You will find the math is minimum. It will introduce the reader to the Sun’s turbulent surface, how solar activity influence the Earth, The Law of Plasma, the concept of the atom and the energy that an atom has, the definition of a Red Giant and White Dwarf and how they evolve, with a historical perspective of how these theories have evolved over the years. If you are looking for a book that will delve into Astrophysics with a heavy concentration in celestial mechanics this book is not for you.

⭐I first read; Red Giants and White Dwarfs about 20 years ago. It opened my eyes to the details of how stars work and how solar systems are born and ultimately how life comes into being. It is quite an old book. I am surpise by how well it still holds up to modern scrutiny. I collect books, science and physics books are among my favorite collectibles. This book is a must have for any zealous collector. I was surprised that it is still easy to find and available at a low price. I wish I could have got one in a little better condition but I’m still very satisfied, it is nearly fifty years old after all.

⭐The “Best Book” I have ever read. Every teenager should get to read this, even though it was written in the ’60’s.
