Conversations on Electric and Magnetic Fields in the Cosmos / / Eugene N. Parker.
Today's standard textbooks treat the theoretical structure of electric and magnetic fields, but their emphasis is on electromagnetic radiation and static-electric and magnetic fields. In this book, Eugene Parker provides advanced graduate students and researchers with a much-needed complement t...
