Description

Book Synopsis
Deals with the propagation and absorption of high frequency waves in plasmas (hot fully ionized gases), a subject on which work is very active in controlled fusion research and in astrophysics. This book could therefore be useful as a source for courses on electromagnetism or classical kinetic theory at a medium to advanced level.

Trade Review
This well organised text on hot plasma theory is written for fusion physicists researching high frequency heating and current drive.
