Description Introducing basic principles of Plasma physics and their applications to space, Laboratory and Astrophysical plasmas, this new edition provides updated material throughout.
New additions include the ponderomotive force, tearing instabilities in resistive plasmas and the magnetorotational instability in acc.
Topics covered include single-particle motions, kinetic theory, magnetohydrodynamics, small amplitude waves in hot and cold plasmas, and collisional effects.
