Ever since the dawn of time, eclipses have been percieved as peculiarly portentous events. These once-in-a-lifetime happenings hold a powerful fascination for us all. Steel's book explains much about eclipses, their science and their significance to humankind.

In August 1999, for the first time in more than 70 years, the northern hemisphere will experience a total eclipse of the sun. This book is an engaging, accessible and authoritative account of this phenomenon and how it has affected humanity from the beginning of time. Author is Adelaide-based director of Spaceguard Australia.

Duncan Steel is a space researcher at the University of Salford in Manchester. He has been much involved in the quest to identify asteroids and comets which threaten life on Earth, the dynamics of solar system objects, and the effects of celestial events on ancient civilisations.
