In this masterly survey of plasma  astrophysics, written by leading practitioners, the first 15 articles  in Part I deal with the use of the MHD approach in several key  problems of solar plasma, such as magnetoconvection and magnetic field  generation, sunspots and coronal loops, magnetic nonequilibrium and  coronal heating, coronal mass ejections, the acceleration of the solar  wind, and stellar winds across the Main Sequence. The following 16  articles of Part II deal with the use of the same MHD approach in  several central and puzzling aspects of more distant astrophysical  plasmas, such as the dynamics of the interstellar medium, collimated  outflows from young stellar objects and accretion disks, molecular  outflows and jets associated with enigmatic binaries and symbiotic  stars, relativistic flows associated with superluminal microquasars in  our own galaxy, astrophysical jets from nearby galaxies, or remote  active galactic nuclei and quasars, probably fuelled by supermassive  black holes. The emphasis throughout is on the striking underlying  similarities in the physics of all these problems. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Indispensable for solar physicists and astrophysics  alike.
