Book Description:

Stellar magnetism is the branch of astrophysics concerned with the magnetic fields of stars, from the familiar variations in the Sun's field which coincide with the sun-spot cycle, to the enormous magnetic fields emitted by rotating neutron stars. The field is developing rapidly, and this book by one of its leading figures provides a thorough and carefully developed acount, placing recent work in a broad astronomical context.
