"Writing for the amateur scientist and the educated general reader, Michael W. Friedlander, a cosmic ray researcher, relates the history of cosmic ray science from its inception to its present status. He explains how cosmic rays are identified and their energies measured, then surveys our current knowledge and theories about this thin cosmic rain. His book makes us party to the search into the nature, behavior, and origins of cosmic rays - and into the sources of their enormous energy."--BOOK JACKET.
