Description

Book Synopsis
This text provides a comprehensive treatment of collisional transport theory, a topic central to the field of theoretical plasma physics. Students, theoreticians and experimentalists in both fusion and space plasma physics will benefit from this book, which emerged from a graduate student level course taught at MIT.

Trade Review
'… invaluable for space-plasma and astrophysical theorists who have a background knowledge of plasma theory and who wish to understand an important strand of laboratory theory that will have vital implications in future for their fields.' Eric Priest, The Observatory
'It is a very welcome addition, indeed asset, to the subject.' Journal of Plasma Physics
'It seems that the authors know how to build a bridge between a manual and a research book. This monograph will be useful to advanced graduate students and scientists that are working in plasma physics.' Zentralblatt MATH

Table of Contents
1. Introduction; 2. Kinetic and fluid descriptions of a plasma; 3. The collision operator; 4. Plasma fluid equations; 5. Transport of a cylindrical plasma; 6. Particle motion; 7. Toroidal plasma; 8.
