The Theory Institute in Solar-Terrestrial Physics was held at
Boston College 19-26 August 1982. The program consisted of a
two-week School followed by the first theory conference in the
field. This book is based upon the lectures presented at the
School. Several years ago there was a convergence of efforts to
promote the role of theory in space plasma physics. Reports from
the National Academy of Sciences and NASA advisory committees
documented the disciplinary maturity of solar-terrestrial physics
and recommended that theorists play a greater role in the continued
development of the field. The so-called theory program in
solar-terrestrial physics was established by NASA in 1979 and
implemented in accordance with the guidelines set forth by a panel
of scientists, primarily theorists, in the field. The same panel
motivated the Boston College program. Published proceedings of the
school would provide curricular materials for the training of
graduate students in solar-terrestrial physics. J.M. Forbes, T.E.
Holzer, A.J. Hundhausen, A.D. Richmond, and G.L. Siscoe were the
principal architects of the curriculum of the School, and I am
grateful for their contributions. Each also lectured at the School.
The chapters in this book were prepared by the authors themselves
with one exception. The chapters by Parker are edited reproductions
of his lectures. Unfortunately, it is our loss that the lectures of
Holzer and Hundhausen are not included in the book.
