The review articles collected in this volume present a critical
assessment of particle acceleration mechanisms and observations
from suprathermal particles in the magnetosphere and heliosphere to
high-energy cosmic rays, thus covering a range of energies over
seventeen orders of magnitude, from 103 eV to 1020 eV. The main
themes are observations of accelerated populations from the
magnetosphere to extragalactic scales and assessments of the
physical processes underlying particle acceleration in different
environments (magnetospheres, the solar atmosphere, the
heliosphere, supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae and
relativistic outflows). Several contributions review the status of
shock acceleration in different environments and also the role of
turbulence in particle acceleration. Observational results are
compared with modelling in different parameter regimes. The book
concludes with contributions on the status of particle acceleration
research and its future perspectives. This volume is aimed at
graduate students and researchers active in astrophysics and space
science. Previously published in Space Science Reviews journal,
Vol. 173 Nos. 1-4, 2012.
