Fast particles of natural or1g1n (cosmic rays) have been used for a
long time as an important source of astrophysical and geophysical
information. A study of cosmic ray spectra, time variations,
abundances, gradients, and anisotropy provides a wealth of data on
physical conditions in the regions of cosmic ray generation as well
as in the media through which cosmic rays propagate. Astrophysical
aspects of cosmic ray physics have been considered in a number of
monograpqs. The most detailed seems to be "The Origin of Cosmic
Rays" by V. L. Ginzburg and S. 1. Syrovatskij (1964) which is,
however, concerned mainly with galactic cosmic rays. The physics of
the circumsolar space is discussed in this book only rather
briefly. Several other monographs have been devoted mostly to the
physics of the interplanetary medium and cosmic rays in
interplanetary space. These include the books by Dorman (1963,
1975a, b), Parker (1963), Dorman and Miroshnichenko (1968). The
present monograph differs from the above mentioned books in two
main aspects: (i) It presents a unified theoretical approach to
analys{ng the properties of fast particles in interplanetary space,
based upon consideration of cosmic rays as a highly energetic
component of the interplane ary plasma, which makes use of the
plasma physics methods to describe the behaviour of cosmic rays.
