About the Book

Are you feeling drawn to witness the Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024? Do you want to get the most out of this "once-in-a-lifetime" event? This new Fourth Edition of ECLIPSE gives you all the information you need to get in the path of totality and prepare for an amazing experience of total awe.


Bryan Brewer's enduring classic - now updated with maps and details for the 2024 event - takes you on a grand, full-color pictorial tour of the history and science of eclipses. Discover how these rare and dramatic celestial events have influenced culture throughout the ages, from Stonehenge and ancient Egypt to Shakespeare and Mark Twain. Follow the sagas of scientists who traveled the globe to glimpse precious minutes of totality to study our solar system. Learn the simple secrets of how eclipses occur, and why they continue to rivet the human imagination.


This background lays the foundation for your breathtaking appreciation of this beautiful spectacle on the day of the eclipse. This generously illustrated, full-color book - printed on high-quality paper - includes a comprehensive viewing guide, with tips on selecting a location and knowing what to look for. Over the centuries, observers have described the delicate solar corona - visible only during a total solar eclipse - as a sublime and otherworldly sight. Few ever get the chance to experience totality, and those who do never forget it.


Also included: Foreword the the First Edition of ECLIPSE by the late Frank Herbert, author of Dune.



About the Author :
Bryan Brewer wrote the first edition of ECLIPSE in anticipation of the total solar eclipse on February 26, 1979. He was fortunate enough to witness totality on that day and has been hooked on eclipses ever since. Bryan published the second edition of ECLIPSE for the July 11, 1991 total solar eclipse, where he traveled to Hawaii for the event. Although clouded out on that day, he kept chasing totality, leading eclipse tour groups to Brazil (1994), the Caribbean (1998), and Germany (1999). Bryan continues to enjoy his passions for science, mathematics, geography, history, and psychology, which give him the background to write engagingly about all aspects of eclipses. Most recently he enjoyed a spectacular view of totality near Sun Valley, Idaho on August 21, 2017 (third edition), and is looking forward to viewing the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 (fourth edition).

Review :

"ECLIPSE is a wonderfully entertaining introduction to Nature's greatest spectacle, rich in historical details and anecdotes while presenting satisfying explanations of how eclipses occur and why they've been of such great importance to science. Everyone reading this delightful work will surely find themselves craving to see the great American total solar eclipse of 2024 with their own eyes."


-Fred Espenak, Bifrost Astronomical Observatory
