About the first book of the author on this topic:<br> "Researchers and advanced students will greatly profit from this book." <br> Rainer Beck, Max-Planck-Institut fur Radioastronomie, Bonn<br> <br> "The authors do a good job of conveying the excitement of the subject and of bringing together much of the research of important topics, a welcome addition to the bookshelves." <br> The Observatory<br> <br> "Ruediger and Hollerbach have brought together the significant research on this topic ... will be of interest to both the geophysicist and the astro-physicist, and perhaps the physicist or engineer ..."<br> E-STREAMS<br> <br> "... does contain many deep insights and there is valuable material...that is not easily accessible elsewhere.." <br> Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics<br> <br> "...a valuable book to have and study...an encyclopedic guide to some of the most interesting problems in astrophysics...should be savored over many sittings."<br> Physics Today<br>

Gunther Rudiger is Professor at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam, and lectured at the University of Potsdam. He has also worked at the University of Gottingen and is a former Visiting Professor at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. For the successful<br> collaboration with the Helmholtz-Center Dresden-Rossendorf regarding the magnetorotational instability experiment PROMISE he was awarded the 2008 Science Prize of the Donor Federation of German Science. <br> Rainer Hollerbach received his Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego. He is currently Visiting Professor in the Institute of Geophysics at ETH<br> Zurich, as part of the European Research Council project ?Magnetostrophic Flow in Experiments and the Core of the<br> Earth?. He is permanently based in the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Leeds, England. He is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the UK Institute of Physics. <br> Leonid L. Kitchatinov received his Ph.D. from the Ioffe Physical Technical Institute, St Petersburg. He is permanently affiliated to the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Irkutsk, and to the Pulkovo<br> Observatory, St Petersburg. He has repeatedly worked at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam, supported by both the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft<br> and by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation as a Research Fellow for a year. He has also worked at the<br> University of St Andrews, UK.
