Editorial Reviews

Review

"Total eclipses of the sun are the most spellbinding sights in the heavens, and Littmann and Espenak's Totality is far and away the most complete and authoritative guide to why, where, and how to see them. Filled with useful observing tips and maps, it's a must-read for experiencing the great US solar eclipse of April, 2024, and an enduring reference for eclipse watching in the future." -- Larry Marschall, Professor of Physics, Emeritus, Gettysburg College

"This is a richly informative guide for viewing the Total Solar Eclipse of 2024. It probably answers every question you might have had about this upcoming event as well as some that you probably have not thought of. For anyone planning to travel to see this eclipse the information on weather and viewing locations will be invaluable." -- Joe Rao, Associate and Guest Lecturer, American Museum of Natural History

"The authors provide an essential run-up to the great total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024 with an interesting history of past solar eclipses together with predictions for where, and how, to best observe the coming event. There are also enough observer anecdotes and testimonies of past eclipses to convince even the most reluctant travelers to make an effort in 2024 to seek out mother natures' rare, but unparalleled, celestial performance." -- Donald K. Yeomans, NASA/JPL Senior Research Scientist

"A total eclipse of the Sun is a fascinating and moving event of great scientific interest. This book is packed with information and is ideal for anyone hoping to witness the 2024 eclipse, whether an experienced eclipse chaser or a first timer" -- Professor Philippa Browning, Jodrell Bank Centre of Astrophysics, University of Manchester

"This is a book rich with wonders, revelations, and delights―visual as well as intellectual. There is just something so astounding about a total solar eclipse (I've been privileged to witness two), and Littmann and Espenak have captured that. They help us comprehend the how, the when, and the why of those few moments, as we gaze into the eyeball of majesty. Get ready for 2024." -- Dr David Quammen, author of Spillover and The Song of the Dodo, among others

"The authors serve up a splendid repast of eclipse adventure, history, science, travel, and story that captures the excitement and anticipation of one of nature's grandest spectacles. The evolution of the eclipse experience is reconstructed through the amulets of ancient China and the cuneiform tablets of Babylon, the geometric contrivances of Greek philosophers, and the discoveries of Renaissance, Victorian, and 19th-century scientists, all interspersed with an emotional smorgasbord of personal eclipse stories. Written by two experienced "eclipse chasers," Totality offers suggestions on travel, site selection, photography, and, best of all, how to just watch and absorb the unfolding, too-short, celestial drama. An invaluable composition, to be read before the 2024 eclipse and those that follow." -- Jay Anderson, Eclipse climatologist

"If there is a more complete modern book describing solar eclipses, I haven't found it. "Totality: The Great North American Eclipse of 2024" describes how, where, and why humans are privileged to see these events. This book offers much more than information on the 2024 total eclipse. Wrapped in history, it tells stories of observers' experiences during eclipses. I am impressed with how thorough these historical biographies and reports are. Successes, failures, surprises, coincidences... It has them all." -- Stephen J. Edberg, Astronomer, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (retired)

"Total solar eclipses have terrified and fascinated people for millennia. Littman and Espenak describe the history and science of solar eclipses, with stories about how eclipse enthusiasts were affected by these spectacular events. If you haven't seen a total solar eclipse, this book will prepare you for the experience of a lifetime." -- Ralph Chou, Professor Emeritus, School of Optometry & Vision Science, University of Waterloo

    Fred Espenak is a retired astrophysicist from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center where he became NASA's expert on solar and lunar eclipse predictions.

    Known by the nickname "Mr. Eclipse", he is co-author of the popular book "Totality - The Great North American Eclipse of 2024." He also wrote 13 NASA eclipse bulletins, each focusing on a major eclipse. In 2014, Espenak published the comprehensive "Thousand Year Canon of Solar Eclipses: 1501 to 2500" and the complementary volume "Thousand Year Canon of Lunar Eclipses: 1501 to 2500." His publication "21st Century Canon of Solar Eclipses" is an essential guide to all eclipses of the Sun during this Century.

    Espenak's MrEclipse dot com website focuses on eclipse photography while the EclipseWise dot com website is devoted to the dissemination of his latest eclipse predictions. An avid eclipse chaser, he has participated in dozens of eclipse expeditions around the world including remote locations such as Mongolia, Libya, the Bolivian altiplano, Kenya’s Lake Turkana and Antarctica. His enthusiasm for eclipses spills over into public speaking, and he frequently gives talks about his favorite subject.

    The International Astronomical Union has honored him by naming an asteroid “Espenak.” To commemorate the 2017 total eclipse through the USA, the U. S. Postal Service featured one of his eclipse photos on a unique heat-sensitive postage stamp. Now living in rural Arizona, he spends most clear nights losing sleep and photographing the stars from Bifrost and Dark View Observatories.

    One expects a work on astronomy to impart a good amount of knowledge on the field. This extremely well written book delivers that and more. Written in a very engaging and witty style it keeps the reader engrossed and wishing the book never ends. Recommended for anyone who wants to further their knowledge of solar eclipses and enjoy the read at the same time.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Insightful
    Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024
    Format: Paperback
    THANK YOU, Mark Littmann & Fred Espenak for this fantastic book.

    I have learned much from Fred's GreatAmericanEclipse.com and, foolishly, thought I knew all that I needed to know about eclipses. This book shows I still had much to learn.

    The book is informative and easy to read and understand, sharing basic and advanced concepts in ways we can readily understand.

    For me, I have been looking for videos showing the geometry of eclipses, so I can see how the movement of the moon relative to our Earth and the sun change the shapes / paths of eclipses. Mark & Fred provided a text-based version that has me imagining that motion quite accurately... so insightful.

    Each chapter includes a story of a person's eclipse experiences, the good and the bad - they are insightful.

    This book even included the weather forecast for the entire path, from the Pacific Ocean through Mexico, the US and Canada and out into the Atlantic - helpful. Blessedly, the clouds forecast for central Ohio the night before remained high and did not obscure the eclipse.

    The book also contains wonderful photos, maps of past and present eclipses, and guides for future total solar eclipses... and a history of our understanding of the sun and helium and related sciences.

    WELL DONE!

    Get this book, even if it is now after the April 8 eclipse, and read and enjoy and share its insights with others!

    Thanks,
    Mike
