Lovely feel good book to read. It was a joy to read. Lovely characters. Great plot. The book was charming. Very well written. I’d definitely recommend this book

This was a absolutely fantastic book. It was concise to the point and explained everything you could ever want to know about the northern lights. It contains the history of them and an easy if you know your science of how they are created. It was full of stunning photographs that I was in awe of. It had information on what times of year is the best to see them. How to use your phone camera and other camera to create the best pictures. He explained lens and how to edit and take the best quality pictures. I loved it all and learnt so much from reading it. It flowed seamlessly from section to section. 

I really recommend reading this book if you have an interest in the night sky or if you want to visit or your a budding photographer. You won't be disappointed.

I could really see from reading this book that the author was both knowledgeable and passionate about the subject and definitely had many years of experience. 

Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating such an educational and easy to use guide that I'm sure you will love and learn from just as much as I did.

Dense and interesting little book on Northern Lights, otherwise known as Aurora Borealis. Book is briming woth information - from quick mythology observation, to physics side of the phenomena, to useful tips for the aurora chasing beginners.
I do have to say, that physics is not strong side of science for me, especially as dense as this, it nevertheless is interesting and it does shed some light (see what I did there?) to how this stunning show on Earth becomes visible.
I mostly enjoyed the mythology side of it and some curious facts, such as.. Auroras are not exclusive Earth phenomena, they can be visible at other planets, too!

P.S. the images in this book are captivating and definitely adds the value to the reading experience.

This was a really interesting read about the northern lights and aurora in general.

Fascinating book with so much information including maps, diagrams and photos. There is also a whole section dedicated to taking photographs telling you the best kit to use, what settings to have your camera on, how to create effects and so much more.

I actually thought I knew a lot before but this book has really opened my eyes to things I didn’t know.

It is the kind of book you can read over and over again and also use as a guide.

Many thanks to netgalley and the publishers for this ebook. Really pleased with it.

This book is absolutely bursting full of information, but I think my favourite section was the bit on photography and how best to take photos (and then edit photos) of the Northern Lights and stars. This is something I’ve always wished I could do better so will be keeping this book close by whenever I go out with my camera at night time again!

There is so much history and science facts in this book that I can see myself picking it up a few times to read through different sections again and again

This book will take me a while to read through as I am not of much as a scientist as I would like to be. The mythology behind the auroras was really interesting and the history of mans recording of the phenonomen . One thing this book did for me is make me want to see the lights NOW . I shall continue enjoying this book until I can travel to see them in person. Inspiring

After living in interior Alaska for 30 years, I thought there was nothing I could learn about the Northern lights. I was wrong. The University of Alaska Fairbanks offers many classes on the aurora. I went through them all and still Tom Kerss has shared a new look at some of the most beautiful naturally occuring phenomenom anyone could see. So whether you've set in the snow and ice for hours to watch the aurora or just hope to some day, this book is definitely a winner.

Northern Lights is a rich and extensive guide to the phenomenon known as Aurora Borealis and everything associated with it. Every (pandemic-free) year, hundreds of thousands of people travel to arctic climes with the goal of witnessing the Northern Lights. It is a verified ‘must see’ natural wonder, which has cemented itself on every major bucket list. Many mysteries remain about the behaviour of auroras, but the major facts about their formation have been established. Yet, none of their magic has been eroded. A playful display of the Northern Lights remains an overwhelmingly wonderful sight, even for seasoned aurora-chasers. It is no surprise that, throughout history, they inspired so many creative legends and stories, not just limited to people native to high latitudes. 

In the ancient Greek age of natural philosophy, scrutiny into the origin of the Northern Lights was surprisingly prevalent but constrained by a limited picture of the Earth. Much later, with the scientific revolution in 17th Century Europe, they were discussed extensively, and as knowledge about our planet grew, so too did our understanding of the intimate, unbroken relationship between it and its parent star. Yet, even as polar explorers ventured beneath the auroras, and physicists developed increasingly more sophisticated models for their origin, some aspects continued to puzzle scientists well into the space age.

This book presents research into the history of the Northern Lights. We’ll see how the Lights were interpreted and studied throughout history, and how key breakthroughs have advanced our understanding of the space weather environment, as well as solar and terrestrial atmospheric physics. Along the way, we’ll meet the important figures – some of whom deserve more credit than they currently receive – that unlocked the mysteries of this strange and beautiful phenomenon through ingenuity of thought and clever technology. A comprehensive guide perfect for both a beginner’s overview and a refresher for those who perhaps want to brush up on their knowledge of the topic, this is a fascinating, authoritative and well-researched book with text complemented by vivid, full-colour photography. Highly recommended.

This book has all the information you need on northern lights and aurora in general. Myth and legends, early maps and drawings. Northern and southern hemisphere and the difference in colours etc. Fascinating book with many diagrams and photographs. There is also a whole section dedicated to taking photographs, what kit you need, speed, light, settings, special effects such as silhouette and even light-room techniques. All you ever need to know is here in this book. Thank you #NetGalley for the copy to review.
