• Sommario/riassunto: Expanding upon the ideas proposed in his seminal book, the author offers the treatment of the magnetohydrodynamic theory of spontaneous magnetic discontinuities. He shows how it can be used to explain the activity of the external magnetic fields of planets, interstellar gas clouds, galaxies, and the magnetic fields in laboratory plasmas.
