The book presents an advanced but accessible overview of some of the most important
sub-branches of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD): stability theory magnetic topology relaxation
theory and magnetic reconnection. Although each of these subjects is often treated separately
in practical MHD applications they are normally inseparable. MHD is a highly active field of
research.The book is written for advanced undergraduates postgraduates and researchers working
on MHD-related research in plasma physics and fluid dynamics.
