In this volume a thorough review is given of waves in dusty
plasmas, a fascinating new domain combining plasmas and charged
dust, two omnipresent ingredients of the Universe. Spokes and
braids observed in the rings of Saturn cannot be explained by
gravitation alone, but need the presence of charged dust. Other
examples abound, as in zodiacal light, noctilucent clouds, comets
and molecular clouds. After discussing charging mechanisms,
supported by exciting new experiments, and space observations, the
book describes extensions of known plasma modes covering the low
frequencies typical for charged dust. Mixing detailed theoretical
steps with summaries of expert contributions, a systematic
multi-species treatment puts the literature in perspective,
suitable also for newcomers. Typical complications like fluctuating
dust charges, self-gravitational effects, and size distributions
are dealt with, before ending with an outlook to future work and
open questions. In this way, experts as well as interested
newcomers will find a reliable guide, not just a compendium.
