`With its combination of an elegant review of some basics of plasma
physics by a master of the subject and a review of one of the most
active areas of current research, this volume should be of wide
interest, and is a worthy addition to a distinguished series.'
R.A. Cairns in Journal of Plasma Physics, 66:5 (2001)
