OverviewThis monograph is devoted to the main problems of cosmic electrodynamics: magnetic field of generation, current sheet formation, turbulence and shocks. It also gives a review of dynamo models and, in more detail, of turbulent dynamo, i.e., magnetic field generation due to turbulent motions in galaxies, stars and the sun.

Table of ContentsReviewsIt is remarkably comprehensive, covering a wide range of important topics of current interest. -A. M. Soward of University of Newcastle\# upon Tyne, UK The field itself is very extensive. It concerns plasmas in the cosmos and the resulting dynamics of the interstellar medium; it delves deeply into extremely complex questions, including the nature of plasma turbulence, magnetohydrodynamic equilibria and their stability, magnetohydrodynamic shocks and their consequences. The book will therefore become a valuable foundation on which future researchers will rely in developing the field further. -Paul H.
