This book on theoretical plasma physics provides a solid introduction to the essential concepts and theories of the field. It covers both fundamental and advanced topics such as equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistics as well as the nonlinear description of a classical plasma.

With detailed chapters on single-particle motion, kinetic theory, and macroscopic descriptions, the book offers a deep understanding of the physical processes in a plasma. It is aimed at students, researchers, and professionals seeking a precise and comprehensive presentation of the methods and solution strategies for current plasma problems.

The book delivers a clear and structured presentation of classical plasma physics. It addresses current issues in fusion physics, laser plasmas, and the emerging field of complex plasmas. It serves as a reliable reference for scientific studies and practical applications.

In this second edition, the book has been thoroughly revised and updated.

Karl-Heinz Spatschek was a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Universities of Essen and Düsseldorf from 1975 to 2010 and collaborated with the Jülich Research Center in the field of plasma physics. Today, he is engaged in research on laser plasma interaction and regularly gives lectures on astrophysics at the University of Düsseldorf.
