Plasma Physics An Introduction to the Theory of Astrophysical, Geophysical, and Laboratory Plasmas

Plasma Physics presents an authoritative and wide ranging pedagogic study of the 'fourth' state of matter. The constituents of the plasma state are influenced by electric and magnetic fields, and in turn also produce electric and magnetic fields. This fact leads to a rich array of properties of the plasma state. This book provides the ideal introduction to this complex and fascinating field of research, balancing the theoretical and practical and preparing the student for further study.Sturrock, Peter Andrew is the author of 'Plasma Physics An Introduction to the Theory of Astrophysical, Geophysical, and Laboratory Plasmas' with ISBN 9780521448109 and ISBN 0521448107.
