'Professor Moldwin lays out the complex topic of space weather in a clear and comprehensive way, with a masterful educational touch that keeps the reader engaged in every chapter. The second edition of this foundational book comes at the perfect time, as the space economy is rapidly expanding and the topic of space weather becomes more pertinent than ever before.' Jacob Bortnik, University of California, Los Angeles
'From solar explosions to their impact on society, this wonderful text uses understandable prose to introduce students with widely different backgrounds to the physics of the local universe and to how the ever-changing connections between Sun and Earth affect society. For the second edition, the diverse supplemental material - ranging from how science works to the foundations of physics - has been expanded, while a newly developed companion webpage leads to beautiful images, illustrative videos, and ready-to-use lecture slide sets.' Karel Schrijver, Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center
'A very fine introduction to the science and applications of the broad topic of solarterrestrial physics (space weather) by Professor Moldwin, an eminent scholar who has personally contributed substantially to the field. In this substantially revised edition, the clever division of each chapter into descriptive and more quantitative portions will make this volume the preeminent academic introduction to the subject.' Louis J. Lanzerotti, New Jersey Institute of Technology
'We have used the first edition of An Introduction to Space Weather for several years in Penn State's cross-listed 'Space Weather' course; it reaches our students well, regardless of their diverse backgrounds. This new edition brings welcome updates (including a brand new chapter on forecasting, educational and other supplementary content toward the end of each section, as well as a companion website) while remaining concise and affordable.' Timothy Kane, The Pennsylvania State University
'I have used Professor Moldwin's book in EmbryRiddle's second-year undergraduate class 'Introduction to Space Weather'. Professor Moldwin's book has worked as a great and highly motivating introductory text for important space weather phenomena. It has been developed with pedagogy and student learning in mind. The book is well written, clear, and captivating. The freshmen students liked the conceptual nature of the text, so the content was easy to grasp with only some introductory physics/math background. I plan on continuing to use this book when teaching this class next time.' Heidi Nykyri, EmbryRiddle Aeronautical University
