The book is intended to provide scientists active in space physics research with an up-to-date status of the current understanding of CMEs and ICMEs and their effects in the heliosphere. It also serves the advanced graduate student with introductory material on this active field of research. New sets of open questions are presented for further studies as well as for new instruments and missions under development.
