Presents a review of magnetic helicity in laboratory plasmas, the
Sun, interplanetary space, planetary dynamos, and astrophysical
objects, addressing the needs of both established and beginning
researchers. Offers a historical overview, provides necessary
mathematical and physical background, discusses the limitations of
the concept, and gives current reviews of studies involving magnetic
helicity. Individual chapters are written by leading experts in each
sub-field, many of whom pioneered helicity studies in their
specialties. Topics include magnetic energy and helicity in open
systems, flows in the solar convection zone, and solar flares and
jets. No index.
