Filling the gap for a treatment of the subject as an advanced course in
theoretical physics with a huge potential for future applications, this
monograph discusses aspects of these applications and provides
theoretical methods and tools for their investigation. Throughout this
coherent and up-to-date work the main emphasis is on classical plasmas
at high-temperatures, drawing on the experienced author's specialist
background. As such, it covers the key areas of magnetic fusion plasma,
laser-plasma-interaction and astrophysical plasmas, while also including
nonlinear waves and phenomena.
For master and PhD students as well as researchers interested in the
theoretical foundations of plasma models.
