But in reality, it is crawling with sunspots of differing shapes, sizes, and power. Is the Sun a god, a man, a woman, or simply a giant ball of hydrogen? Why does it tell fibs about its favourite painters? Is the Sun afraid of dying? Does it get depressed? And what does it \u003cem\u003ereally\u003c\/em\u003e think about us, and the solar system it is bound to care for? In \u003cem\u003eSunspots\u003c\/em\u003e fact, fiction, horror, humour and joy are condensed into a powerful meditation on the star that gives us life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon Barraclough\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908058412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908058416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penned in the Margins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.27d","brand":"Simon Barraclough","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896927478015,"sku":"9781908058416","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36f1dc15-be93-497a-984e-f007d63cc9aa.jpg?v=1721372703","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sunspots-simon-barraclough-9781908058416","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
