About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book is written in a direct and succinct style that makes it accessible and highly informative even to readers who are not experts in kinetic theory. … a valuable and welcome addition that fills an important niche in the space plasma physics literature. With its broad selection of topics and balance between technical detail and context, the book will be a valuable reference for all researchers in the field of space physics and for specialists in plasma theory … .” (David Knudsen, Physics Today, December, 2010)Authors and Affiliations
