Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"Plasma Physics offers a broad and modern introduction to the many aspects of plasma science ... . A curious student or interested researcher could track down laboratory notes, older monographs, and obscure papers ... . with an extensive list of more than 300 references and, in particular, its excellent overview of the various techniques to generate plasma in a laboratory, Plasma Physics is an excellent entree for students into this rapidly growing field. It's also a useful reference for professional low-temperature plasma researchers." (Michael Brown, Physics Today, June, 2011)
