Presents classic fundamentals and perspectives of modern plasma astrophysics. This illustrated monograph covers the basic principles and practical tools required for understanding and work in plasma astrophysics. It represents the physics of magnetic reconnection and flares of electromagnetic origin in space plasmas in the solar system.

This well-illustrated monograph is devoted to classic fundamentals, current practice, and perspectives of modern plasma astrophysics. The level of the book is designed mainly for professional researchers in astrophysics. The book will also be interesting and useful to graduate students in space sciences, geophysics, as well as to advanced students in applied physics and mathematics seeking a unified view of plasma physics and fluid mechanics.

Boris Somov is a professor at the Moscow State University, laureate of the State Prize of the former USSR (the Honour Prize of the USSR Government), and laureate of the IBC Award '2000 Outstanding People of the 20th Century' in honour of his contribution to space physics. Three well-known monographs "Physical Processes in Solar Flares", "Fundamental of Cosmic Electrodynamics", and "Cosmic Plasma Physics" by Boris Somov were published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in 1992, 1994 and 2000. He has contributed more than 170 articles to the scientific literature in solar physics and plasma astrophysics.
