Deals with the requirements of space physics. This title describes the Earth's plasma environment, followed by a derivation of single particle motions in electromagnetic fields, with applications to the Earth's magnetosphere. It discusses the origin and effects of collisions and conductivities and solar wind-magnetosphere coupling.
