Editorial Reviews
Review
'This book covers the subject of the solar corona with enough depth for the professional and enough clarity and completeness for the grad student. Well-written and up-to-date, this work sets a standard in the field.' Jack Zirker, National Solar Observatory, Sacremento Peak, New Mexico
'This book describes the current understanding of the solar corona very well. I enjoyed reading it and feel that it is essential reading for new graduate students.' Alan Hood, The Observatory
'It provides a welcome update on the immense progress that has occurred over the last 20 years ... The Solar Corona is a pleasure to read.' Eugene N. Parker, Physics Today
Book Description
Observations from the ground and space have advanced our knowledge of the solar corona dramatically over the past three decades. This timely volume presents a lucid and synthesized review of the latest observations of the solar corona and discusses how these observations have advanced and shaped our understanding of coronal physics. In the process, the authors introduce a wide variety of exciting physics, including dynamo theory and radiative transfer. They also demonstrate how the transient effects of the solar cycle effect "space weather." This book provides a much-needed introduction to coronal physics for advanced students and researchers.
