Summary
Each of the following titles addresses a good range of the geophysical topics that have concerned us, including, in particular, chapters or articles on the upper atmosphere, the ionosphere and magnetosphere, and the aurora and substorms. They are therefore especially useful as works of general reference. Obviously, each will reflect the state of knowledge at the time it was written. While the more recent should be the most up to date, the older ones should not be neglected for they are closer to the development of the basic ideas and knowledge upon which the field stands today. Mitra's famous book of 1952 is well worth re-reading. The auroral classics by Harang (1951) and Stormer (1955) are cited in Chapter 6.
