Description
The author argues that, after four decades of debate about the interactive of solar wind with the magenetosphere, it is time to get
back to basics. Starting with Newton's law, this book also examines Maxwell's equations and subsidiary equations such as continuity,
constitutive relations and the Lorentz transformation; Helmholtz' theorem, and Poynting's theorem, among other methods for understanding
this interaction.
