Mask of the sun : the science, history and forgotten lore of eclipses / John Dvorak. by Dvorak, John (John J.) Center Point Large Print, 2017. Call #: LP 523.78 D988m Subjects Eclipses.   Eclipses -- History.   Total solar eclipses -- History.   Saros cycle. ISBN:  9781683244028 (hc.) Edition:  Large Print edition. Description:  432 p. (large print) : ill., maps ; 23 cm. Notes:  Originally published: New York Pegasus Books, 2017. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "An astronomer explores the ways eclipses have shaped the course of human history, from the ancient Chinese who recorded their occurrences on turtle shells and the Mayan Dresden Codex. Whether seen as harbingers of evil or a sign of the divine, eclipses are some of the rarest and most stunning celestial events we can witness here on Earth and have influenced human history and thought since we first turned our eyes to the sky. Dvorak provides explanations as the how and why eclipses occur--as well as insight into the forthcoming eclipse of 2017 that will be visible across North America."--Provided by publisher.
