Klappentext zu „Total Addiction “
Seeing a total solar eclipse is often described as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. However, for many who have experienced totality, once-in-a-lifetime is simply not enough. They want more, and are willing to go to great lengths often at great expense to repeat the experience. What is it like to experience totality? What is it about the experience that motivates these eclipse chasers? Is there an eclipse chaser personality? Can eclipse chasing actually be described as an addiction? This book describes the people who dedicate their lives to chasing their dream.

Pressezitat
From the book reviews:"The author manages to convey the utter glory of being in the path of totality for both herself and other eclipse chasers. ... I have seen several total eclipses and understand completely why the author feels the way she does. If you, as I do, find people who do not seem to understand when you try to explain, I suggest you buy this and read passages from it." (John Chuter, The Journal of the British Astronomical Association, britastro.org, December, 2014)
