Synopsis
In three lectures on magnetohydrodynamics, on kinetic plasma physics and on particle acceleration, leading experts describe the physical basis of their subjects and extend the discussion to several applications in modern problems of astrophysics. The themes developed in this book will be helpful in understanding many processes in the universe from the solar corona to active galaxies.

Review
"I highly recommend this book. It will be much appreciated in an astrophysics community sated with conference proceedings but frequently starved for authoritative, up-to-date, graduate-level references like this one" Physics Today
