Cr�ticas:

This is a fabulous introduction to our home star, written with an insight and an enthusiasm that makes it very approachable... there's far more to the Sun than you might suspect (Helen Czerski, author of 'The Storm in a Teacup')

Wonderful...makes you simply gaze out of the window pondering for a while. The future of solar science is bright, and Lucie Green an inspiring guide (Lewis Dartnell Daily Telegraph)

This book takes a fascinating look at a literally brilliant subject... one of the most enjoyable books about science you could hope to find (Paul Sutherland Book of the Month - BBC Sky at Night Magazine)

Thrilling ... Lucie Green's huge enthusiasm for the Sun is apparent throughout (Pippa Goldschmidt Spectator)

Green, a solar physicist at University College London, is an engaging and careful companion. She is clearly enamoured of her subject and keen to acknowledge those who have gone before her ... Reading this book confirms what I felt as a student: that truly understanding the Sun is as much about philosophy as it is about physics (Anjana Ahuja Financial Times)

Green's enthusiasm for her subject is infectious ... [a] fine book (Marcus Chown Times Higher Education)

The author's passionate enthusiasm for her subject shines through on every page ... an outstanding and eminently readable book which conveys a remarkably comprehensive and wide-ranging account of our nearest star (Iain Nicholson Astronomy Now)

Professor Green has been studying the sun for 20 years and her passion for her 'favourite star' burns from every page (Jane Shilling Daily Mail)

Contraportada:

What is the sun really made of?
How hot is it on the inside?
And will it ever run out?

Let solar physicist Professor Lucie Green take you on a journey to discover what the sun is, how it works and why we are only now discovering how it explains some of our universe's greatest mysteries. Along the way we will meet Galileo, Halley, Newton and a host of other explorers who teased out the sun's secrets from a distance of 90 million miles.

The story of the sun is our story - of how a giant ball of light and heat made all life on Earth.

Packed full of fascinating facts and exciting discoveries about our home star, 15 Million Degrees is a book brimming with brilliance - just like the sun.

'Comprehensive, wide-ranging. Green's passionate enthusiasm shines through on every page. An engaging, personal insight into contemporary solar research. An outstanding and eminently readable book' Astronomy Now

'A bright prism of a book that casts light on the whole of physics. Fascinating and eye-opening' Ben Miller

'There is so much packed into this book. Huge enthusiasm [and] vitality to Green's writing' Spectator

'Tells a luminous story with a light touch' Tim Radford, Guardian
