Recenzje

'I have used Professor Moldwin's book in Embry–Riddle's second-year undergraduate class 'Introduction to Space Weather'. Professor Moldwin's book has worked as a great and highly motivating introductory text for important space weather phenomena. It has been developed with pedagogy and student learning in mind. The book is well written, clear, and captivating. The freshmen students liked the conceptual nature of the text, so the content was easy to grasp with only some introductory physics/math background. I plan on continuing to use this book when teaching this class next time.' Heidi Nykyri, Embry–Riddle Aeronautical University
