This authoritative text on plasma behavior in diverse astrophysical contexts combines classical and contemporary theory to show how fundamental principles in electromagnetism, hydrodynamics, and quantum mechanics find expression in plasma physics.
Klappentext zu „Cosmic Electrodynamics “
This book presents the fundamental concepts of the theory, illustrated by numerous examples of astrophysical applications. Classical concepts are combined with new developments and the authors demarcate what is well established and what is still under debate. To book illustrates how apparently complicated phenomena can be addressed and understood using well-known physical principles and equations within appropriate approximations and simplifications. For this purpose, a number of astrophysical examples are considered in greater detail than what is normally presented in a regular textbook. In particular, a number of nonlinear self-consistent models are considered, which is motivated by the latest observational data and modern theory.

Pressezitat
From the reviews:"The present textbook gives a deep and detailed overview of the plasma behavior under various astrophysical conditions where electromagnetic interactions play an essential role. ... The textbook is intended for undergraduate and graduate students, but it may also be used as a reference book by active researchers in astrophysics, space physics, and geophysics." (Claudia-Veronika Meister, zbMATH, Vol. 1269, 2013)
