Magnetic fields are important in the Universe and their effects contain the key to many astrophysical phenomena. Written for graduate students and researchers, this book presents an up-to-date overview of this fast-growing topic and will inspire readers to devise new ways of thinking about magnetic fields in space.

Philipp P. Kronberg is Research Professor Emeritus at the University of Toronto Canada and Visiting Professor at Los Alamos National Laboratory. He has served on or chaired advisory and management boards of many organizations and facilities and has received numerous awards and distinctions including a Humboldt Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Killiam Fellowship. For over thirty years Kronberg has pioneered both measurements and physical and mathematical analyses to deduce astrophysical magnetic fields on many scales, from our Milky Way to the most distant quasars.
