The book should be eminently suitable for a course in solar physics. Also itprovides a comprehensive review of present magnetohydrodynamical models insolar physics which will be quite useful for workers in the field. Finallythe book is strongly recommended to the rapidly growing number ofastrophysicists studying magnetically active stars. Science ...belongs on thedesk of every astrophysicist interested in active objects whether stars orgalaxies. It should go without saying that the book is also an excellent textfor a graduate on magnetohydrodynamics. Nature Professor Priest has succeededin writing a lucid and thorough introductory in the fascinating field of SolarMagnetohydrodynamics that is of great value to students and researchers in thefield. It is easily accessible to researchers in peripheral astrophysicaldisciplines such as stellar atmospheres and extragalactic physics. Thismonograph can be recommended as the textbook in this field. Space ScienceReviews ...only very rarely do I feel delighted to receive a particular book.Eric Priests book is nevertheless one such instance. It is a very solidproduction both on the part of the author who has provided the best part of 500pages and the publisher who has matched the authors effort with a wellpresented text and illustrations. Planetary Space Science Professor Priest hadconstructed an impressively coherent textbook. As an account of solarmagnetism or a demonstration of the appliedmathematical approach inastrophysics it can be strongly recommended. Journal of Fluid Mechanics 1551985 «
