Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book (now in a 5th edition) methodically explains why eclipses of the sun and moon happen, their intricate patterns in time and space - and why they are so exciting.There are page-spreads, with dynamic globe diagrams, for examples of the main kinds of eclipse and several curious cases such as a 'broken-ring eclipse', a 'geometrically tight eclipse', a 'globe-skimming eclipse'. There is lingering many-page treatment of two great solar eclipses: the 'ideal' one of July 1991 that went over Hawaii, Baja California, and Mexico; and that of August 2017 across the U.S.A. from Oregon to South Carolina.Rich illustrations, including the 12-page 'bead curtain' chart of all eclipses from 1901 to 2116; 'Eclipse stories' (with some cartoons); eclipses of the future; tables; index.
