Synopsis

While the plenary lectures presented at the September 1998 meeting in Valladolid, Spain await a forthcoming volume, this one contains 20 papers demonstrating the cross-disciplinary fertilization fueled by the complexity of the stellar dynamo problem: i.e. the amplification and maintenance of a magnetic field in an electrically conducting fluid of resistivity. Most of the contributions take into account the nonlinear effect of the Lorentz force upon the plasma flow, both at a theoretical level and in models of the Sun and other stars. Includes an author index but lacks a subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
