Reviews

From the reviews: The volume surveys the broad expanse of space weather through 14 chapters contributed by 20 expert practitioners. ! its extensive reference lists at the end of each chapter are extremely valuable. I believe the book functions best by sitting on the library reference shelf where it can be readily consulted as needed. (Thomas J. Bogdan, Physics Today, December 2007) Space Weather: Physics and Effects is an attempt to summarize the entire field of space weather. ! It is generally well produced, includes an exhaustive table of contents and has nearly 40 pages of prefatory materials including a four-page list of acronyms, and what seems like an adequate index. (W. Jeffrey Hughes, EOS, March, 2009)
