The diverse and often surprising new facts about planetary rings
and comet environments that were reported by the interplanetary
missions oflate 1970s - 1980s stimulated investigations of the
so-called dusty plasma. The number of scientific papers on the
subject that have been published since is quite impressive.
Recently, a few surveys and special journal issues have appeared.
Time has come to integrate some of the knowledge in a book.
Apparently, this is the first monograph on dusty and
self-gravitational plasmas. While the circle of pertinent problems
is rather clearly defined, not all of them are equally represented
here. The authors have concentrated on cooperative phenomena (Le.
waves and instabilities) in the dusty plasma and the effects of
self-gravitation. At the same time, in an attempt to present the
vast material consistently, we have included such topics as
electrostatics of the dusty plasma and gravitoelectrodynamics of
individual charged particles. Also mentioned are astrophysical
implications, mostly concerning planetary rings. We hope that the
book shall be of interest and value both to specialists and those
(astro )physicists who have just discovered this area of plasma
physics. We are thankful to many scientists actively working in the
field of dusty plasma physics who have generously let us become
acquainted with their results, sometimes prior to publication of
their own papers: U. de Angelis, N. D'Angelo, o. Havnes, A. Mendis,
M. Rosenberg, P. Shukla, F. Verheest, and E. Wollman.
