A comprehensive account of solar astrophysics and how our perception and knowledge of this star have gradually changed as mankind has elucidated ever more of its mysteries. The emphasis here is on the last decade, which has seen three successful solar spacecraft missions: SOHO, Ulysses and Yohkoh. Together, these have confirmed many aspects of the solar standard model and provided new clues to the numerous open questions that remain. The author, a leading researcher in the field, writes in a clear and concise style. Known also for his famous books „Astrophysical Formulae“, „Sun, Earth and Sky“ and the prize-winning „Wanderers in Space“, he has succeeded once again in addressing a complex scientific topic in a very approachable way.
