Summary
Riding the Plasma Waves: A Kinetic Journey
The book explores the fascinating world of high-frequency wave propagation and absorption in plasmas – those hot, fully ionized gases crucial to both controlled fusion research (the pursuit of sun-like energy) and astrophysics (the study of space plasmas).
This text provides a structured and self-contained foundation for understanding the diverse behaviors of plasma waves, unified by a microscopic kinetic description. The inherent c…

Critics Review
This well organised text on hot plasma theory is written for fusion physicists researching high frequency heating and current drive.
This book presents an up to date major contriubtion to the field of plasma waves and is a ‘must’ on the shelves of active researchers as well as advanced graduate studentsr`…this book will be a useful addition to [the] literature, and…[it] will be a valuable source or supplementary text for anybody who needs to understand these topics in detail, at the graduate level.‘Observatory Magazine, Vol 118, no 1147, December 1998
