Reviews of Plasma Physics Volume 22, contains two reviews. The
first Cooperative Effects in Plasmas by the late B.B. Kadomtsev is
based on the second edition of the author's book in Russian which
originated from his written lectures for students of the Moscow
Institute of Physics and Technology. Kadomtsev intended to publish
the book in English and even initiated the translation himself. The
book represents a review of the typical plasma cooperative
phenomena that determine the behavior of laboratory and
astrophysical plasmas. It is characterized by lively language. The
first three sections of the review deal with linear and nonlinear
phenomena in fluids without a magnetic field. An additional
subsection 'Solitons' has been added to the third section. The next
two sections address regular nonlinear phenomena in a plasma in a
magnetic field. The second review by S.V. Bulanov et al is
connected with the contents of the first. The physics of the
laser-plasma interaction including such nonlinear processes as wave
breaking, the acceleration of charged particles, electromagnetic
wave self-focusing, the relativistic soliton and vortex generation,
are considered analytically and illustrated using computer
simulations.
