Abstract
In these lectures the following topics will be treated: (1) a historical background of whistlers and related phenomena; (2) the observational facts, from both the ground and satellites ; (3) the application of these measurements to electron density mapping and techniques for the detection of ions using whistlers; (4) the nature of electromagnetic emissions from the magnetosphere and ideas relating to their origin.
