ECLIPSE - I am happy, excited and awed by the material presented in this well written book. I know about eclipses and past human behavior but I learned more than I expected. Wonderful, awesome photographs, easy to read charts and graphs, easy to understand technical and historical information and future eclipses. Handy is the Do and Don'ts when viewing eclipses and the tools needed. I found out I need to travel two hours north to be in a better, but still not the best, position to see more of what can actually be experienced during the complete eclipse.

Eclipse: Experience Awe in the Path of Totality of the April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse is a stunning tribute to one of nature’s most breathtaking phenomena, blending science, history, and wonder into an unforgettable read. Bryan Brewer captures the magic of the moment while offering practical insights and timeless stories that will inspire eclipse chasers for decades to come.
Actually enjoyed reading this timely book regarding eclipses. How they were viewed throughout history was fascinating, and the photos added to it. The only drawback was the difficulty in reading this on my Kindle with the pictures and maps.
