This volume, which was first published in 1991, presents a comprehensive review of all aspects of the physics of the aurorae australis and borealis. The broad topics covered relate to the different sections of a conference held in Cambridge to celebrate the centenary of the birth of Professor Sydney Chapman, FRS, who can be considered the founder of the subject in its modern form. Contributions from an international group of experts in the field discuss the physical causes and effects of the aurorae, the nightly show of dancing lights in the atmosphere, at heights above 100 km. The book is aimed primarily at students and researchers in auroral physics, but will also be of interest to magnetospheric, ionospheric and atomospheric physicists.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. OUT-OF-PRINT. A heavy oversized volume that will require additional postage for destinations outside of the USA. "Auroral physics is a subject which has seen considerable change and development over the last twenty years, particularly because of the importance of the discipline to space research and the exploration of the near earth environment. In July 1988, a conference held in St John's College, Cambridge, celebrated the centenary of Sydney Chapman, the founder of the subject in its modern form, and brought together an international group of experts in the field to discuss important developments and the likely directions of future research. Auroral Physics is based on the proceedings of the meeting and presents some 40 invited papers many of which are from internationally renowned authors. Together, the book gives a comprehensive overview of the present state of the art in the subject, and puts forward some important new ideas. This book will be of great value to anyone studying or working in auroral physics, and will also be of importance to meteorologists, atmospheric physicists and those working in radio-wave propagation.
