Space Physics [E-Book] : An Introduction to Plasmas and Particles in the Heliosphere and Magnetospheres / by May-Britt Kallenrode.
Space is a large natural plasma laboratory offering a wealth of phenomena which range from the simple to the highly complex and non-linear. This book begins with an introduction to basic principles such as single-particle motion, magnetohydrodynamics and plasma waves. It incorporates these concepts...
