In this comprehensive review of the radio astronomy of the Sun, thirteen researchers based in Australia summarise our present knowledge of solar radio emission at wavelengths of about one metre. CSIRO scientists have been at the forefront of research in solar radiophysics for thirty years; the historical review of J. Paul Wild is, therefore, highly appropriate. Introductory sections give the history of the subject and outline basic physical principles. Instrumental techniques are described next, to set the scene for the classification of bursts, flare phenomena, and the propagation of radio waves through the corona. In the second half of the book there is a thorough description of burst types, solar storms, and the Quiet Sun.McLean, Donald J. is the author of 'Solar Radiophysics', published 1985 under ISBN 9780521254090 and ISBN 0521254094.
