A rich reward

Plasma physics is a very rich subject. This author does a good job of introducing it to the reader. There are flaws with his methods, however. Some equations have variables which do not get defined or mentioned anywhere. They are identifiable after some mulling, but when the purpose of understanding the equations gets held up for lack of definitions, then it becomes somewhat annoying. Otherwise the book is good.
