The author argues that, after four decades of debate about the interactive ofsolar wind with the magnetosphere, it is time to get back to basics. Startingwith Newton's law, this book also examines Maxwell's equations and subsidiaryequations such as continuity, constitutive relations and the Lorentz transformation; Helmholtz' theorem, and Poynting's theorem, among other methods for understanding this interaction. Includes chapters on prompt particle acceleration to high energies, plasma transfer event, and the low latitude boundary layerMore than 200 figures illustrate the textIncludes a color insert
