A Life of Fun Playing With Solar Magnetic Fields (Special Historical Review)
arXiv:1405.3481 · doi:10.1007/s11207-014-0554-2
Abstract
This invited memoire describes my fortunate life, which has been enriched by meeting many wonderful people. The story starts at home and university, and continues with accounts of St Andrews and trips to the USA, together with musings on the book "Solar MHD". The nature and results of collaborations with key people from abroad and with students is mentioned at length. Finally, other important aspects of my life are mentioned briefly before wrapping up.
