The intent of this book is to summarize the complicated and sometimes conflicting theories about space which have evolved from the measurements of the in situ satellites in the near-Earth space environment. The book is clear and readable for the novice; however, it does assume that the reader has a firm grasp of introductory physics. Recommended for upper-division undergraduates or first-year graduate students.
