Overview
This 1986 book presents a series of computer-drawn maps for all total and annular eclipses of the Sun calculated to have been observable in East Asia from 1500 BC to AD 1900. The study of past eclipses is useful, for example in determining the long-term behaviour of the Earth's rate of rotation.
