This is an excellent book that will be extremely useful to many young researchers starting out in the fields of stars and exoplanets (and also to some more experienced ones who might enjoy a quick reminder). A broad knowledge of stellar magnetic activity is becoming increasingly more important to the exoplanet community and this book is perfectly pitched to provide a sound basis in the subject without becoming too caught up in details. It is a book designed to inspire as well as educate. Its strength lies in the clarity of the writing that avoids the need for extended mathematical derivations. The choice of topics reflects the broad experience and expertise of the author. It is not intended to be entirely comprehensive nor to provide a complete historical introduction, but it supplies just enough background to place current research in context.
