A decade of observations of the Sun with NASA's Solar Maximum Mission satellite
has led to many discoveries in solar physics and atomic physics. While the
analysis of the data is still continuing, a huge body of literature has now been
published interpreting results from the mission. This book collects a review of
these results in a single volume to provide a snapshot, as it were, of the
current state of knowledge of solar physics. It will thus be a useful tool for
both teaching and research, as well as a guide to planners of future missions to
investigate the Sun. Individual chapters, each written by
