Book Description | Table of Contents
Chapter 1 [in PDF format]

ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:

"This is a unique undertaking by a scientist who is one of the most accomplished and outstanding in our field. The book takes the reader from the elementary principles of Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell's equations to hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics equations. The author has intended this book to be conversations, as the title indicates. The style is informal but the physical ideas and concepts are presented with precision."--B. C. Low, National Center for Atmospheric Research

"Parker is one of the leaders in the field and has his own novel approach to plasma astrophysics. I believe that both students and active researchers will benefit from this book."--David Spergel, Princeton University
