Cool Aurorae Book

"The Northerm Lights" by Lucy Jago. It is about the Norwegian Kristian Birkeland, who discovered much about the true nature of the aurorae and the relationship between the Sun and auroral activity. He was brilliant a bit of a nutter, whose story is more about tragedy of his life. So far it is a really enthralling read and about 280 pages.
