This book is a valuable introduction to astrophysical plasmas and fluids for graduate students of astronomy preparing either for a research career in the field or just aspiring to achieve a decent degree of familiarity with 99% of the cosmos. The contents provide a true representation of the phenomenal diversity of dominant roles that plasmas and fluids play in the near and far reaches of the universe. The breadth of coverage of basic physical...

Much of the excitement in modern Solar Physics has come from the realisation that the Sun is a plasma and that this plasma is interacting with the magnetic field in a wide variety of subtle ways. As well as being of great interest in their own right the observed plasma phenomena on the Sun are of much wider importance, since they reveal to us details of basic phenomena that are expected to be occurring throughout the universe. It was with this...

This book is intended for academic researchers and graduate students in the field of partially ionized plasmas.

Plasma is the first state of matter from which three other states have evolved. The book explores a variety of plasmas, explains how they can be made and kept, helps understand the waves they support and elaborates on the relation between plasmas and the coherent and incoherent radiation they produce.
