After an introductory chapter concerned with the history of
force-free magnetic fields, and the relation of such fields to
hydrodynamics and astrophysics, the book examines the limits
imposed by the virial theorem for finite force-free configurations.
Various techniques are then used to find solutions to the field
equations. The fact that the field lines corresponding to these
solutions have the common feature of being "twisted", and may be
knotted, motivates a discussion of field line topology and the
concept of helicity. The topics of field topology, helicity, and
magnetic energy in multiply connected domains make the book of
interest to a rather wide audience. Applications to solar
prominence models, type-II superconductors, and force-reduced
magnets are also discussed. The book contains many figures and a
wealth of material not readily available elsewhere.
