About
"This volume provides the first comprehensive combined account of the properties of sunspots and starspots. It covers both observations and theory, and describes the intricate fine structure of a sunspot's magnetic field and the prevalence of polar spots on stars. The book includes a substantial historical introduction and treats solar and stellar magnetic activity, dynamo models of magnetic cycles, and the influence of solar variability on the Earth's magnetosphere and climate." "This book conveys the excitement of its subject to graduate students and specialists in solar and stellar physics, and more broadly to astronomers, geophysicists, space physicists and experts in fluid dynamics and plasma physics."--book jacket.
