Magnetic Reconnection : : A Modern Synthesis of Theory, Experiment, and Observations / / Masaaki Yamada.
The essential introduction to magnetic reconnection—written by a leading pioneer of the fieldPlasmas comprise more than 99 percent of the visible universe; and, wherever plasmas are, magnetic reconnection occurs. In this common and yet incompletely understood physical process, oppositely directed ma...
