Synopsis
This book is an introductory textbook on the physical processes occurring in the Earth's radiation belts. The presentation is at the advanced undergraduate or first year graduate level, and it is appropriate for students who intend to work in some aspect of magnetospheric physics. The treatment is quantitative and provides the mathematical basis for original work in this subject. The equations describing the motion of energetic ions and electrons in the geomagnetic field are derived from basic principles, and concepts such as magnetic field representations, guiding centre motion, adiabatic invariance, and particle distribution functions are presented in a detailed and accessible manner. Relevant experimental techniques are reviewed and a summary is given of the intensity and energy spectra of the particle populations in the Earth's radiation belts. Problem sets are included as well as appendices of tables, graphs and frequently used formulas., An introductory textbook on the physical processes controlling geomagnetically trapped radiation aimed at first year graduate students specialising in any aspect of magnetospheric physics.

- 5***9 (322)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAmazing experience with this Ebayer!! shipping blazingly fast I ordered on the 13th I receive it on the16th!! packaging was perfect (no Damage)!!The condition of the book was better than stated it is a BRAND-NEW BOOK!! The value of the book was exceptional, and the appearance and the quality of this book is above and beyond expectations!!Thank you for the excellent customer service and thank you most of all for being an Ebayer I can trust!!
- _***8 (70)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent packaging: the books were wrapped in two layers of thin white paper and placed inside a bubble wrap courier bag. Very fast overseas shipping: the order date was 17/10, and the parcel arrived on the 31st. Honest photos and descriptions. Recommended seller. 5 stars !
- l***u (12)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseOverall buying from here was a fantastic experience! The book arrived at my door in two days, during a flash flood advisory. It was packaged in a grey plastic mailer, secured with extra tape so that the item stayed nice and dry. The book itself is exactly as stated: a fresh new copy. No witting or highlighting, no library stickers. Just a clean, intact copy. This was much cheaper than if had I bought from a major bookstore, so all in all I’m very pleased with my purchase here! Would recommend.
