“This is a cheerful, erudite and, above all, illuminating book (pun intended) about that golden orb that makes occasional appearances in the Anacortes sky—not just what scientists know about it, but how it has informed and influenced human culture from the dawn of history. Author Richard Cohen, after climbing Mt. Fuji to observe the sunrise, roams freely around such topics as weather, ocean currents, religion, calendars, the keeping of time, depictions of the Sun in art and politics, photosynthesis, skin cancer, poetry and science fiction.”—Arlene, Watermark Book Company, Anacortes, WA.
