The study of the magnetic fields of the Earth and Sun, as well as those of other planets, stars, and galaxies, has a long history and a rich and varied literature, including in recent years a number of review articles and books dedicated to the dynamo theories of these fields. Against this background of work, some explanation of the scope and purpose of the present monograph, and of the presentation and organization of the material, is therefore needed. Dynamo theory offers an explanation of natural magnetism as a phenomenon of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), the dynamics governing the evolution and interaction of ... Read more

Reviews for Stretch, Twist, Fold
"This excellent book by two leading researchers in dynamo theory is highly recommended, both to those interested in the way magnetic fields are generated in the cosmos and also to mathematicians who wish to learn how modern nonlinear dynamics theory is being applied to a classic problem..."
