(More customer reviews)The sun is all around us, both literally and now, with Richard Cohen's comprehensive, compelling tome, figuratively.
The author does a wonderful job tackling an enormous subject and observing it from both scientific and cultural perspectives. The reader learns of the sun's relationship to Earth and its people through seven years of research and travel to 18 different countries. We learn of the sun's significance on a very large scale - from its life-giving properties and influences in our solar system to its place in our art, climate, rituals and mythology, to name a few. That's a daunting task and Cohen skillfully gathers an enormous amount of information and condenses it into a fascinating and accessible tale.
The real success of this book overall, though, lies with Cohen's skill in facilitating a conscious relationship between us and our solar system's only star. By book's end, it is impossible to ever see the sun the same way again. Recommended.
