PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Martin Connors is a Professor of Astronomy, Mathematics, and Physics at Canada’s dominant distance education institution, Athabasca University. He is also affiliated with the planetary science group at Western University in London, Canada. He has authored numerous courses and scientific articles. His wide-ranging research has extended from the history of astronomy, through asteroids and their impact craters, to auroras and their magnetic effects. He has been a visiting professor at UCLA and at Nagoya University in Japan. When not doing scientific work, he reads about history, practices foreign languages, and blends photography with travel when possible.
Invisible Solar System by Dr. Martin Connors is a lovely book that will appeal to both the serious amateur astronomer as well teachers of astronomy at the introductory university level. The book assumes little prior knowledge of physics and astronomy and in the first few chapters Connors takes his readers on a fast- paced journey through many of the fundamental concepts of modern physics. Many clever analogies and examples are employed to explain fascinating aspects of the parts of the solar system that remain hidden but are manifested in such phenomena as the Northern Lights and meteors. Particularly noteworthy are the chapters dealing with magnetic interactions between the earth and sun and the creation of aurora. Invisible Solar System is written in a simple, engaging style with numerous historical anecdotes. I unreservedly recommend this book! - Brian Martin, Professor Emeritus, Physics and Astronomy, The King's University, Edmonton, Canada.
