Stuart Clark's The Sun Kings, the story of the nineteenth-century astronomers, natural philosophers, and magneticians who established solar-terrestrial science, is a must read for members of the space weather community. Designated the Best Professional/Scholarly Book in Cosmology and Astronomy for 2007 by the Association of American Publishers and shortlisted for the Royal Society General Prize for Science Books for 2008, The Sun Kings recounts the heroic scientific advances-of Alexander von Humboldt, Samuel Schwabe, Edward Sabine, Richard Carrington, Edward Maunder, George Hale, and others-that showed that Earth's magnetic storms originate at the Sun.
