This unified, interdisciplinary, and comprehensive collection provides a foundation in dynamo theory before moving on to modeling aspects of natural dynamos. It introduces governing equations, outlines the kinematic dynamo theory, covers nonlinear effects, and discusses fluid dynamics. The book then describes the Earth's magnetic field and the current understanding of its characteristics. Subsequent chapters examine other planets in our solar system and the magnetic field of stars, including the sun. The book also addresses dynamo action on the large scale of galaxies, presents modeling experiments of natural dynamos, and speculates about future research directions.
