The various processes that connect the physics of the Sun with that of the Earth`s environment has become known as "Space Weather" during recent years, a slogan that has emerged in connection with many other expressions adapted from meteorology, such as solar wind, magnetic clouds or polar rain. This volume is intended as a first graduate-level textbook-style account on the physics of these solar-terrestrial relations and their impact on our natural and technological environment.

Review
From the reviews:
"The aim of this book is to give an in-depth look at the physics behind the space weather phenomena … . This book has … succeeded in its aim of providing the reader with an in-depth look at the physics involved in space weather. … Grammatically, the book is excellent throughout … . All the chapters have illustrative figures and … include very interesting reference lists. … I found this book in general quite interesting and educational." (Norma B. Crosby, Surveys in Geophysics, 2006)
