✦ Synopsis

A modern survey of plasma physics which is useful not only for astrophysicists. Motivated by the scope of the well known monograph by Kaplan and Tsytovich the book considers a range of new topics, including dusty plasmas, the physics of Supernovae and turbulent processes in relativistic plasmas. In general, the authors put more accent on physical processes which occur in astrophysical plasmas. Hence, the book claims to be a main reference in this field
