This book is an introduction to contemporary plasma physics that
discusses the most relevant recent advances in the field and covers
a careful choice of applications to various branches of
astrophysics and space science. The purpose of the book is to allow
the student to master the basic concepts of plasma physics and to
bring him or her up to date in a number of relevant areas of
current research. Topics covered include orbit theory, kinetic
theory, fluid models, magnetohydrodynamics, MHD turbulence,
instabilities, discontinuities, and magnetic reconnection. Some
prior knowledge of classical physics is required, in particular
fluid mechanics, statistical physics, and electrodynamics. The
mathematical developments are self-contained and explicitly
detailed in the text. A number of exercises are provided at the end
of each chapter, together with suggestions and solutions.
