This book on the terrestrial space environment is directed at a broad group of students and scientists, who seek knowledge of the methods and results of space research. The only prerequisites are fundamental physics and mathematics as usually acquired in introductory college courses in science or engineering curricula. Stressing physical insight rather than mathematical precision, Physics of the Earth's Space Environment derives further knowledge on selected topics as each phenomenon is considered and strives to present experimantal results in conjunction with basic reasoning about the underlying physics. «
