This volume presents the current knowledge of magnetic fields in
diffuse astrophysical media. Starting with an overview of 21st
century instrumentation to observe astrophysical magnetic fields,
the chapters cover observational techniques, origin of magnetic
fields, magnetic turbulence, basic processes in magnetized fluids,
the role of magnetic fields for cosmic rays, in the interstellar
medium and for star formation. Written by a group of leading
experts the book represents an excellent overview of the field.
Nonspecialists will find sufficient background to enter the field
and be able to appreciate the state of the art.

Magnetohydrodynamics describes dynamics in electrically conductive
fluids. These occur in our environment as well as in our atmosphere
and magnetosphere, and play a role in the sun's interaction with
our planet. In most cases these phenomena involve turbulences, and
thus are very challenging to understand and calculate. A sound
knowledge is needed to tackle these problems. This work gives the
basic information on turbulence in nature, comtaining the needed
equations, notions and numerical simulations. The current state of
our knowledge and future implications of MHD turbulence are
outlined systematically. It is indispensable for all scientists
engaged in research of our atmosphere and in space science.
