Negative Positive
Title: good info., poorly written
Review: Decent information for beginners to the field of solar physics.However, in a couple ways this book is a fine example of how NOTto write a science book. Lang states numbers and units in a very distracting way: for instance, "1.5 thousand meters" and on a diagram of the Sun, 15 M(degree sign) for the central temperature.On page 73 we read, about the Sun's oscillations: "That interval is similar to the separation between the most intense contractions during child birth, at least during the birth of my children."OK, did we really need to know that in an _astrophysics_ text?
