Ninety-nine percent of ordinary matter in the Universe is in the
form of ionized fluids, or plasmas. The study of the magnetic
properties of such electrically conducting fluids,
magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), has become a central theory in
astrophysics, as well as in areas such as engineering and
geophysics. This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to
MHD and its recent applications, in nature and in laboratory
plasmas; from the machinery of the Sun and galaxies, to the cooling
of nuclear reactors and the geodynamo. It exposes advanced
undergraduate and graduate students to both classical and modern
concepts, making them aware of current research and the
ever-widening scope of MHD. Rigorous derivations within the text,
supplemented by over 100 illustrations and followed by exercises
and worked solutions at the end of each chapter, provide an
engaging and practical introduction to the subject and an
accessible route into this wide-ranging field.
