Examines basic concepts and First Law, Second Law, equilibria, Nerst's Heat Theorem, and kinetic theory of gases. As does each book in this series, Vol. 3 includes an index and a wealth of figures. It can also be read independently by those who wish to focus on a particular topic.
Physics of Fully Ionized Gases: Second Revised Edition by Lyman Spitzer, Jr. An introductory course in theoretical physics is the sole prerequisite for this general but simple introduction to the fields of plasma and fusion research. 1962 edition.
Plasma Confinement by R. D. Hazeltine, J. D. Meiss Graduate-level text examines the essential physics underlying international research in magnetic confinement fusion with accounts of fundamental concepts behind methods of confining plasma at or near thermonuclear conditions. 1992 edition.
