The ionized material that constitutes plasma permeates almost all
of the universe beyond the planets and their atmospheres and
satellites. This book describes the linear theory of many different
waves and instabilities that may propagate in a collisionless
plasma. Electrostatic and electromagnetic fluctuations, and a
variety of instability sources are considered. Applications of the
theory are discussed with respect to spacecraft observations in the
solar wind, terrestrial magnetosheath, magnetosphere and
magnetotail and at the bow shock and magnetopause. Tables at the
end of most chapters summarize wave and instability nomenclature
and properties, and problems for the reader to solve are
interspersed throughout the text. Together these make this book of
great value to both the student and research worker in space
physics.
