The complexity of plasmas arises mainly from their inherent nonlinearity and far from equilibrium nature. This book presents studies of complexity in the context of nonequilibrium phenomena using theory, modeling, simulations, and experiments, both in the laboratory and in nature.

Space Plasmas.- Nonequilibrium Phenomena in the Magnetosphere.- Complexity and Intermittent Turbulence in Space Plasmas.- Complexity and Topological Disorder in the Earth's Magnetotail Dynamics.- Simulation Study of SOC Dynamics in Driven Current-Sheet Models.- Two State Transition Model of the Magnetosphere.- Global and Multiscale Phenomena of the Magnetosphere.- Low Frequency Magnetic Fluctuations in the Earth's Plasma Sheet.- Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission.- Laboratory Plasmas.- Perspectives of Intermittency in the Edge Turbulence of Fusion Devices.- Transition to Self-Organized High Confinement States in Tokamak Plasmas.- Internal Transport Barriers in Magnetised Plasmas.- Characterization of Turbulence in Terms of Probability Density Function.- Phase Transition in Dusty Plasmas.- Cross-Disciplinary Studies.- Precursors of Catastrophic Failures.- Multi-Scale Interactions and Predictability of the Indian Summer Monsoon.
