There
are many excellent sources of information about space weather and solar
storms. One of the most comprehensive, non-technical, books on the subject
is 'The 23rd Cycle:Learning to live with a stormy
star'. This book is available at this website in its entirety in
PDF and searchable text.
Other
resources include FAQ websites, which provide a quick highlight of many
of the basic questions and answers about the sun, earth and the consequences
of space weather.
There
are also many excellent movies, videos and animations, collected here,
that provide a dramatic visual tour of space weather concepts.
Finally,
newspapers are often a delightful source of information about storms in
the past and how people reacted to them. Many of the important articles
published before December 31, 1922 when copyright
restrictions for 2004 take effect, are available at the 'News' link in
the menu on the left in PDF and searchable
text. Additional, and more recent news articles between 1923-2005
will be reprinted here under the 'fair use' clause of the United States
copyright law.
