An amazing story about the Norwegian scientist, Birkeland, who first really understood the northern lights.

[Nightwatch : A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe] Nightwatch : A Practical Guide to Viewing the Universe

Absolutely the best book for learning your way around the night sky and a great introduction to astronomy in general. We recommend the wirebound version (this one) so that you can lay it out flat while observing.
