The book begins with three introductory chapters that provide some basic physics and explain the principles of physical investigation. The principal material contained in the main part of the book covers the neutral and ionized upper atmosphere, the magnetosphere, and structures, dynamics, disturbances, and irregularities. The concluding chapter deals with technological applications. The account is introductory, at a level suitable for readers with a basic background in engineering or physics. The intent is to present basic concepts, and for that reason, the mathematical treatment is not complex. SI units are given throughout, with helpful notes on cgs units where these are likely to be encountered in the research literature. This book is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students who are taking introductory courses on upper atmospheric, ionospheric, or magnetospheric physics. This is a successor to The Upper Atmosphere and Solar-Terrestrial Relations, published in 1979.

Industry Reviews

'attractively produced, well illustrated, readable and interesting ... Mathematics is kept to an elementary level, the intention being to describe the basic concepts. To this end the author has done a good job.' Nature 'As a textbook it is the most comprehensive single author, graduate-level treatment of solar-terrestrial phenomena available ... Hargreaves writes lucidly, plumbs each topic to a uniform, graduate-level depth and has a sure sense of what to include, what to emphasize and what to omit.' Physics Today 'The offer as paperback makes it an absolute bargain ... This book is clearly written, concise and encompasses all major topics affecting the earth's environment.' Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics
