Designed as a text for upper-level undergraduate and first-year graduate students, this volume attempts to establish the curriculum for the modern student entering the fledgling field of space physics. The book provides a broad, yet selective, treatment of the subject, covering virtually all aspects of space plasmas in the solar system. There are sections on the sun and solar wind, the magnetized and unmagnetized planets, and the fundamental process of space plasmas including shocks, plasma waves, ULF waves, wave-particle interactions, and auroral processes. In addition to emphasizing analysis, the authors also place importance on underlying phenomenology with extensive attention to observations.



Star Trek - Deep Space Nine: Forsaken

The irrepressible Lwaxana Troi (Majel Barrett), mother of the Enterprise's counselor Deanna Troi, visits the station with a group of Federation ambassadors. When Lwaxana's broach is stolen at Quark's, Odo (Reni Auberjonois) catches the thief and returns it. She is immediately taken with the shape-shifter. Meanwhile, an unidentified alien probe comes through the wormhole. As O'Brien (Colm Meaney) studies the vessel with the station's computer, Odo struggles to fend off Lwaxana's advances. Much to his chagrin, they are trapped together in one of the Turbolifts - alone at last. Back in Ops, O'Brien believes the probe has somehow altered the station's computer, but his attempts to fix the problem result in a massive plasma explosion in the guest quarters.

Plasma Science and the Environment by W. M. Manheimer, ISBN 1563963779

Plasma Science and the Environment describes important advances on environmental issues made by researchers in plasma physics and its associated fields of fluids, gaseous chemistry, lasers, microwaves, and electron beams. Written by some of the world's foremost plasma science experts, the articles here range from the global perspective of climate and atmospheric change to new developments in energy efficiency and conservation to key applications in waste treatment and reduction. Clearly written, up to date, and extensively referenced, Plasma Science and the Environment introduces nonspecialists to a fascinating field of scientific endeavor. Readers will gain a broader understanding of some of the most crucial problems facing the modern world, and will see how specialists in a particular area of physics are working to solve them.
