• Sommario/riassunto: This book, 'Foundations of Cosmic Ray Astrophysics,' is a comprehensive collection of lectures and research findings from the 208th course of the International School of Physics 'Enrico Fermi.' Edited by F. A. Aharonian, E. Amato, P. Blasi, and C. Evoli, it delves into the fundamental aspects of cosmic ray astrophysics. The book covers topics such as the interactions of cosmic rays with matter and electromagnetic fields, particle acceleration in pulsars, and cosmic ray transport in the galaxy. It also addresses cosmic ray interactions, instabilities, and their implications for cosmic ray propagation. The material is intended for researchers, astrophysicists, and advanced students interested in the detailed mechanisms and theoretical frameworks of cosmic ray physics.
