"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.
