Cosmic Plasma Physics Proceedings of the Conference on Cosmic Plasma Physics Held at the European Space Research Institute (ESRIN), Frascati, Italy, September 20–24, 1971 / edited by Karl Schindler.

The plan to hold a conference on cosmic plasma physics originated in the Plasma Physics Division of the European Physical Society, whose chairman, B. Lehnert, took the first steps towards its realization. - ESRIN readily adopted this idea, and preliminary contacts with a number of other groups showe...
