The present review book by Dr. Lev I. Dorman entitled Plasmas and Energetic Processes in Geomagnetosphere reflects the development of the geomagnetosphere’s research and applications for the last few decades. The importance and actuality of the geomagnetosphere’s research are based on the following three factors:1. The geomagnetosphere is the nearest giant natural laboratory, where it is possible by multiple satellites and ground measurements to investigate in detail many different plasmas and energetic processes in space; these are caused by the interaction of high kinetic energy solar wind plasmas and their perturbations. This research is an important basis for fundamental space and astrophysical science.2. In modern times, technology, economics, navigation, television, internet, radio connections, military and all aspects of people’s lives on our planet are strongly connected with the work of many satellites moving inside the geomagnetosphere. Different processes and MCR in the geomagnetosphere influence satellites often lead to satellite malfunctions and sometimes fully destroying them. The described research can be considered as a basis for developing methods of forecasting dangerous situations for satellites in different orbits, and to decrease the risk of satellite malfunction and loss.3. The interaction of CME, ISW, and IIR with the geomagnetosphere leads to the generation of big magnetic storms accompanied with Forbush decrease and precursory effects in Galactic Cosmic Ray (GCR) intensity. These magnetic storms are dangerous not only for satellites, but also on the Earth’s surface for technology, radio connections, car accidents, and human health (e.g., increasing frequency of infarct myocardial and strokes). Investigations of magnetic storm causes can help to develop methods of their forecasting and decrease the level of magnetic storm hazards. Therefore, the other practical application of this research is connected with the problem of space weather influence on the technology, radio connections, navigation, transportation, and human health on Earth in regards to altitude and latitude. The author hopes that this book will be interesting and useful for researchers, engineers, students, and all people interested in the development of modern technologies in space and to address problems with the geomagnetosphere, ionosphere, upper and lower atmosphere, space weather and space climate influence on Earth.
