Jan Stenflo, professor of astronomy at the Institute of Physics in Zurich, Switzerland has just reviewed The Sun Kings in Nature, the world’s most prestigious science journal.  After summarizing the book, he says, “Stuart Clark weaves all these events and ideas together in a fascinating tapestry.  The account is non-technical, and is suited for anyone with a general interest in the history of science.  Clark’s engaging writing style conveys the passion, intrigues and captivating life stories of the main players.  It is a gripping tale of the birth of modern astronomy.”
