"Physics of Plasmas" by a group of authors is a detailed guidebook in the field of modern plasmas physics. A short and self-contained text aimed at attracting both newbies and serious researchers, the book tackles topics related to plasma dynamics, wave phenomena and plasma transport, as well as the analysis of complex processes such as plasma fusion, solar phenomena, metallurgical engineering and other technologies with plasma interaction in mind. Mathematical notes and challenging exercise sections help out readers who need to better understand the concepts presented in the pages of this engaging and erudite work. Ideal for use in one-year and final years of Bachelor and Master's studies.
A short, self sufficient introduction to plasma physics for beginners and researchers from a number of disciplines. Covering the dynamics and stability magnetic plasmas, waves and transport in the medium, it also considers applications such as fusion using deuterium magnetic confinement, solar physics involving plasma structures reaching far into the Sun's corona, sun spots and wind, engineering including metallurgy and magnetic power generation, and rail guns, finally looking at the relatively novel and challenging subject of dust plasma. Mathematical notes are included and 99 problems complete the theory with it being equally useful as a text book for final year undergraduate and first year postgraduate students.

A short, self-sufficient introduction to the physics of plasma for beginners as well as researchers in a number of fields. The author looks at the dynamics and stability of magnetoplasma and discusses wave and transport in this medium. He also looks at such applications as fusion research using magnetic confinement of Deuterium plasma, solar physics with its plasma loops reaching high into the corona, sunspots and solar wind, engineering applications to metallurgy, MHD direct generation of electricity, and railguns, finally touching on the relatively new and difficult subject of dusty plasmas. The book includes mathematical notes and 99 exercises that supplement the theory presented and thus offers the beginner an easy introduction to this exciting field. It is an equally good textbook for final year undergraduates and first year research students.
