This textbook begins with a description of the Earth's plasma environment, followed by the derivation of single particle motions in electromagnetic fields, with

Introducing the principles and applications of plasma physics, this new edition is ideal as an advanced undergraduate or graduate-level text.

Observations and physical concepts are interwoven to give basic explanations of phenomena and also show the limitations in these explanations and identify some

The growing number of scientific and technological applications of plasma physics in the field of Aerospace Engineering requires that graduate students and prof
