Riassunto

A clear, pedagogical and uniquely unified introduction to fluid mechanics and plasma physics for graduate students in astrophysics.

Recensione

'I'd not hesitate to recommend [this] book to anybody with an interest in fluids or plasmas ... superbly written ... [an] original textbook which should quickly become a bestseller.' Uriel Frisch, CNRS, Observatoire de Nice

'[This] book provides a comprehensive introduction both to fluid dynamics and to plasma physics, with many astrophysical examples. Here at last is an excellent textbook for a theoretical course, at graduate level, in plasma astrophysics.' Nigel O. Weiss, FRS, University of Cambridge

'The text is unique in combining the essential formal calculations with the simple physical concepts to give the reader an intuitive grasp of the dynamical phenomena of the active astonomical universe ... The new student, as well as the experienced research worker, will find this textbook useful and instructive.' Eugene Parker, University of Chicago

'... it is rare to find a textbook that is such a pleasure to read.' S. M. Tobias, Journal of Fluid Mechanics

'This is a delightful book, largely because of the author's evident enthusiasm for the subject. It is a pleasure to find such potentially messy subjects as plasma physics and hydrodynamics presented as a unified whole with the grand themes well brought out. The text is strong on physical insight and clarity of exposition ... this is an excellent book ... A copy should be available on the bookshelves of every astrophysics research group.' A. R. Bell, Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College

'This is an excellent book. The author has that rare gift of being able to make a complex subject seem not only straightforward but also fascinating ... an absolute bargain at the price.' Moira Jardine, The Observatory

'I enjoyed reading this book, and found the author's viewpoints fresh and interesting. He manages to entertain the reader and succeeds in conveying the essentials of the subject simultaneously. It is a rare textbook that is as well written and presented as this.' Current Science

'The book is well written, covering quite a large number of topics in a clear and pleasant style which makes enjoyable reading ... The student who reads this book will successfully gain a very good understanding of many, often referred to, astrophysical topics.' R. M. Kulsrud, Nuclear Fusion

We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
