Beschreibung
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 experimental results in conjunction with basic reasoning about the underlying physics. The content’s breadth and introductory nature make this an ideal reader for students in geophysics, meteorology, space sciences and astronomy
This book on the terrestrial space environment is directed at a broad group of readers and students, the only prerequisite being the same knowledge of fundamental physics and mathematics as usually required for introductory college courses in science or engineering curricula. More specific knowledge on selected topics is derived in association which each phenomenon considered. The breadth and introductory character of the contents make this an ideal textbook for students in geophysics, meteorology, space sciences and astronomy
The first advanced undergraduate textbook that treats the terrestrial space environment ranging from the upper atmosphere to the interplanetary medium on the same footing

From the reviews:
"This book is aimed towards readers who are interested in space research. The prerequisite for a full and beneficial reading is a knowledge of fundamental physics and mathematics, a knowledge that is usually acquired in undergraduate studies in science or engineering. These reviewers believe that this book will be quite useful for a general physics teacher who wants to find new applications of fundamental physics. … The figures, illustrations and typesetting of the book are of good quality as usually with Springer … ."
