This extended and revised edition of Plasma Waves provides the ideal contemporary companion for advanced students studying plasma waves and includes modern and complete treatments of electron cyclotron emission, collisions, relativistic effects, Landau damping, quasilinear and nonlinear wave theory and tunnelling equations. Although designed as a textbook it also provides researchers with an essential reference to the basic formula and categorises the various possible types of waves and their interactions. The broad scope encompasses waves in cold, warm and hot plasmas and relativistic plasma waves. Special chapters deal with the effects of boundaries, inhomogeneities and non-linear effects. All formulae are derived to allow a greater appreciation of the subject, and though the emphasis is theoretical, several fundamental wave experiments are described.

Industry Reviews

"It's a fine text, and I use it with my graduate students as a tutorial text in my laboratory research."
- Professor Christopher Watts

"This is a revised and extended version of a book that has already proved its value as an advanced text at the postgraduate level. It contains a careful account of many of the properties of waves using the various possible levels of approach, and a good selection of graphs and surface plots that are a great help to the reader in visualizing the behavior of wave dispersion relations ... . Any student who masters the material in this book and works through the problems it contains will have a very solid grounding in the theory of wave propagation. Research workers in the field will find it to be a comprehensive source of information on waves, including a number of topics that have only been found in research papers until now. I think this is a very welcome addition to the literature, which will be a valuable resource for teachers and researchers ... . Swanson's book is certainly worth a place on the bookshelves of anyone who needs to know about plasma waves."
-R.A. Cairns in Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion
