This book provides a self-contained introduction to
magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), with emphasis on nonlinear processes.
The book outlines the conventional aspects of MHD theory,
magnetostatic equilibrium and linear stability theory. It
concentrates on nonlinear theory, starting with the evolution and
saturation of individual ideal and resistive instabilities,
continuing with a detailed analysis of magnetic reconnection and
concluding with a study of the most complex nonlinear behavior,
that of MHD turbulence. The last chapters describe three important
applications of the theory: disruptive processes in tokomaks, MHD
effects in the reversed field pinch, and solar flares.
