Product Description
Product Description
Electric green pierced by neon blue, shocking pink spinning into violent red, and shimmering purple sidled up against deep indigo: never before have you seen such high-octane colors in the sky, and never before has a book shown the northern lights-aurora borealis-in such vivid color. In Northern Lights, photographers Calvin Hall and Daryl Pederson bring to print nearly a hundred photographs of this amazing natural phenomenon, shot from remote locations all over Alaska and using no filters or digital enhancement. Just as fascinating are the legends, myths, and science surrounding this polar phenomenon, described by George Bryson. As 2002 marks the peak viewing time of the northern lights in an eleven-year cycle, this book brings the elusive magic of the northern lights to stargazers near and far.

This review is from: Northern Lights: The Science, Myth, and Wonder of Aurora Borealis (Paperback)
This book makes you feel like hopping on the next plane to Alaska. The photographs are excellent and very colourful, which is a treat in itself. The essay is very informative and just right too, not too short and not too long. It is a book that you feel you want to pick up and read time and time again. Can we have another one written please!

My parents are going on a trip to (hopefully!) see the Northern Lights in November so I wanted to buy this as a gift so that they could look forward to the forthcoming trip even more. They were absolutely delighted with the book - the photography is absolutely stunning and the text well written and interesting. A lovely book which is well worth the money.
