MHD Waves in the Solar Atmosphere
«'The book is highly recommended to those students, post-docs, and researchers who are willing to go further into the fundamental understanding of wave phenomena in astrophysical plasmas than just to fit a sine function to the shaken loops after a banging solar flare.' Markus Aschwanden, The Observatory»
This volume presents a full mathematical exposition of the growing field of coronal seismology which will prove invaluable for graduate students and researchers alike. Roberts' detailed and original research draws upon the principles of fluid mechanics and electromagnetism, as well as observations from the TRACE and SDO spacecraft and key results in solar wave theory.

«'This volume presents a full mathematical exposition of the growing field of coronal seismology which will prove invaluable for graduate students and researchers alike … I think this book would be suitable for a 'special topics' graduate course on MHD wave theory for those with a background in differential equations and special functions.'

«'Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is an extremely useful description for a wide variety of plasmas on a macroscopic scale. Such description also demands microscopic interrogation but still provides an excellent first pass at complete understanding. All physicists who study plasmas or conducting fluids must have more than passing familiarity with MHD. Roberts (Univ. of St. Andrews, Scotland) provides an excellent introduction to MHD in general and MHD waves …' M. A. Reynolds, Choice»
