It combines basic concepts with current research and new observations in interplanetary space and in the magnetospheres. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGraduate students and young researchers starting to work in this special field of science, will find the numerous references to review articles as well as important original papers helpful to orientate themselves in the literature. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmphasis is on energetic particles and their interaction with the plasma as examples for non-thermal phenomena, shocks and their role in particle acceleration as examples for non-linear phenomena. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis second edition has been updated and extended. Improvements include: the use of SI units; addition of recent results from SOHO and Ulysses; improved treatment of the magnetosphere as a dynamic phenomenon; text restructured to provide a closer coupling between basic physical concepts and observed complex phenomena.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e May-Britt Kallenrode\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3540206175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783540206170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.20d","brand":"May-Britt Kallenrode","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44129711882495,"sku":"9783540206170","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_801d335e-f239-44f2-8413-c4f506df7232.jpg?v=1687465392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-physics-may-britt-kallenrode-9783540206170","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
