Abstract
This textbook gives a perspective of heliophysics in a way that emphasizes
universal processes from a perspective that draws attention to what provides
Earth (and similar (exo-)planets) with a relatively stable setting in which
life as we know it can thrive. The book is intended for students in physical
sciences in later years of their university training and for beginning graduate
students in fields of solar, stellar, (exo-)planetary, and planetary-system
sciences.
