Heliophysics: Plasma Physics of the Local CosmosHeliophysics is a developing scientific discipline integrating studies of the Sun's variability, the surrounding heliosphere, and climatic environments. Over the past few centuries, our understanding of how the Sun drives space weather and climate on the Earth and other planets has advanced at an ever increasing rate. This volume, the first in a series of three heliophysics texts, integrates such diverse topics for the first time as a coherent
