Physics of the Magnetosphere Based upon the Proceedings of the Conference Held at Boston College June 19–28, 1967

This monograph is based upon the proceedings of the Summer Institute, Physics of the Magnetosphere, held on the Boston College campus, lune 19-28, 1967. The pro gram consisted of invited speakers selected by the Editors. An attempt was made to provide comprehensive treatment of all topics of primary...
