The manuscript tackles one of the most interesting branches of
plasma phys ics, the electrodynamics of the plasma. 99% of matter
in the universe occur in the plasma state, - e. g., stars, gaseous
nebulae, interstellar gas. The plasma also widely occurs on earth.
Thus, the ionosphere protects human beings from the destroying
effects of the solar radiation and provides the long distance radio
communication. Plasmas also show up in metals and semicon ductors,
and it is difficult to overestimate their importance in our
everyday life. But even more important is that the power
engineering of the future is connected with plasmas since the
plasma is the fuel for thermonuclear reca tions and a practically
unlimited source of energy harmless to the environ ment. For the
description of a hot plasma a unique logically complete and
consistent theoretical model has been developed on the basis of the
Maxwell Vlasov equations. We tried to carry this idea through the
entire text, which aims to present an orderly exposition of
electromagnetic properties of the plasma within the Maxwell-Vlasov
model. Both linear and nonlinear elec trodynamics of the plasma are
presented. The first part (Chap. 1-5) deals with the linear
electromagnetic properties of the plasma in thermodynamic
equilibrium. The basic equations of the Maxwell-Vlasov model are
introduced and the properties of the plasma in equilibrium are
studied in the linear approximation of the electromagnetic field.
The second part (Chaps."
