About This Item
New York: Oxford University Press, 1994. Expanding upon the ideas first proposed in his seminal book Cosmical Magnetic Fields, Eugene N. Parker here offers the first in-depth treatment of the magnetohydrodynamic theory of spontaneous magnetic discontinuities. In detailing his theory of the spontaneous formation of tangential discontinuities (current sheets) in a magnetic field embedded in highly conducting plasma, Parker shows how it can be used to explain the activity of the external magnetic fields of planets, stars, interstellar gas clouds, and galaxies, as well as the magnetic fields in laboratory plasmas. 420 pgs. Illustrated. Upper spine edge slightly bumped. Minimal shelfwear. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
