This work provides a self-contained introduction to magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), with emphasis on nonlinear processes. The first four chapters outline the conventional aspects of MHD theory, magnetostatic equilibrium and linear stability theory, which form a natural foundation for the topics introduced in later chapters. Chapters five to seven present nonlinear theory, starting with the evolution and saturation of individual ideal and resistive instabilities, continuing with a detailed analysis of magnetic reconnection, and concluding with a study of the most complex behaviour, that of MHD turbulence. The last chapters describe three important applications of the theory: disruptive processes in tokomaks, MHD processes in the reversed field pinch, and solar flares. Since emphasis is on the physical principles rather than on special formalisms, this book is core reading for theorists and experimentalists working on nonlinear MHD effects.
