Stellar Magnetism

Zusatztext The main strength of the book is that the author has been able to combine a clear description of the fundamental physical concepts and ideas behind each subject with a thorough mathematical discussion of the theoretical mdoels based on these concepts...What I personally like most about the book is that the author always tries to start from first principles as closely as possible...The author achieves a very good balance between the amount of albebraic detail with which most of the models are treated and the global picture to which the conclusions then contribute.
