Beskrivning

This book presents the fundamental concepts of the theory, illustrated by numerous examples of astrophysical applications. For this purpose, a number of astrophysical examples are considered in greater detail than what is normally presented in a regular textbook.

Recensioner i media

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)
