The interstellar medium (ISM) provides a unique laboratory for highly
supersonic, driven hydrodynamics turbulence. We present a theory of such
turbulence, confirm it by numerical simulations, and use the results to explain
observational properties of interstellar molecular clouds, the regions where
stars are born.
