Bryan Brewer wrote the first edition of ECLIPSE in anticipation of the total solar eclipse on February 26, 1979. He was fortunate enough to witness totality on that day and has been hooked on eclipses ever since. Bryan published the second edition of ECLIPSE for the July 11, 1991 total solar eclipse, where he traveled to Hawaii for the event. Although clouded out on that day, he kept chasing totality, leading eclipse tour groups to Brazil (1994), the Caribbean (1998), and Germany (1999). Bryan continues to enjoy his passions for science, mathematics, geography, history, and psychology, which give him the background to write engagingly about all aspects of eclipses. Most recently he enjoyed a spectacular view of totality near Sun Valley, Idaho on August 21, 2017 (third edition), and is looking forward to viewing the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024 (fourth edition).
