[edit] MAGNETIC RECONNECTION
A lucid introduction to the theory of magnetic reconnection and a wide-ranging review of its applications.
Magnetic reconnection is at the core of many dynamic phenomena in the universe, such as solar flares, geomagnetic substorms and tokamak disruptions. This authoritative volume, written by two world leaders on the subject, gives the first comprehensive overview of this fundamental process. This book provides both a pedagogical account of the basic theory and a wide-ranging review of the physical phenomena created by reconnection - from laboratory machines, the Earth's magnetosphere, and the Sun's atmosphere to flare stars and astrophysical accretion disks. It also provide a succinct account of particle acceleration by electric fields, stochastic fields and shock waves, and how reconnection can be important in these mechanisms. The clear and pedagogical style makes this book an essential introduction for graduate students and an authoritative reference for researchers in solar physics, astrophysics, plasma physics and space science.
