Publisher's Synopsis
Heliophysics is a fast-developing discipline that integrates studies of the Sun's variability, the surrounding heliosphere, and the environment and climate of planets. Over the past few centuries, our understanding of how the Sun drives space weather and climate on the Earth and other planets has advanced dramatically. This set brings together three books edited by Carolus Schrijver and George Siscoe, which together provide a complete guide to heliophysics - covering the full range of sub-disciplines that constitute this field. Supplemented by online teaching materials, the volumes can be used as textbooks for graduate courses or as a foundational reference resource for researchers in fields from astrophysics and plasma physics to planetary and atmospheric science. Volume 1 is Heliophysics: Plasma Physics of the Local Cosmos, Volume 2 is Heliophysics: Space Storms and Radiation: Causes and Effects, and Volume 3 is called Heliophysics: Evolving Solar Activity and the Climates of Space and Earth.
