In a wholly lucid manner the work covers single-particle motions, fluid equations for plasmas, wave motions, diffusion and resistivity, Landau damping, plasma instabilities and nonlinear problems. For students, this outstanding text offers a painless introduction to this important field; for teachers, a large collection of problems; and for researchers, a concise review of the fundamentals as well as original treatments of a number of topics never before explained so clearly. This revised edition contains new material on kinetic effects, including Bernstein waves and the plasma dispersion function, and on nonlinear wave equations and solitons.</P> 1883506 31 5 2006 Introduction to Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion total:5|5:2|3:2|2:1| 5 18 9 1 3 0 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Dec 12 06:22:57 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 12 06:24:52 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 05:26:49 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 05:26:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 23 08:35:10 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 08:35:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 15:11:50 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 15:11:53 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 26 10:27:09 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 26 10:27:17 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed May 21 15:57:00 -0700 2008 Wed May 21 15:57:00 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Wed Feb 06 12:19:47 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 06 12:19:47 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Dec 19 13:35:12 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 19 13:35:12 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Sun Oct 07 05:15:42 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 07 05:15:42 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1882422
