Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Plasma is the name given to the state of matter that is found in the stars, and, on earth, in nuclear fusion experiments. This book gives a brief, clear introduction to the subject and relies on a minimum of previous knowledge of electricity and magnetism. Although it is comprehensive, it is sufficiently short to be covered in a single lecture course.
MoreLong description:
Plasma is the physical state in which most of the visible matter in the universe is found. The properties of plasma are so distinctive that it is often referred to as the fourth state of matter.
This book explains the fundamental concepts of plasma physics and provides an introduction to plasma particle dynamics, plasma waves, magnetohydrodynamics, plasma kinetic theory, two-fluid theory, and non-linear plasma physics. Emphasis is placed on the underlying physical principles, rather than on mathematical considerations. The most advanced background knowledge required consists of Maxwell's equations, and these are reviewed in the introduction.
This book will be useful to undergraduates in physics and postgraduates in astrophysics, nuclear physics, and plasma physics and is short enough to be covered in a single lecture course.
The ideal textbook is not only clear and authoritative, but also short and priced at a level where students might reasonable be expected to buy it. Dr Dendy's book meets all these criteria admirably." The treatment here is very clear and well written. For anyone who wishes a short introduction to the fundamentals of plasma physics or who is teaching a course on the subject, this is a very attractive addition to the literature.
Table of Contents:
Introduction; Basic plasma characteristics; Motion of an electron in a magnetic field; Dielectric description of cold plasma; Magnetohydrodynamic description of plasma; Kinetic description of plasma; Non-linear plasma physics; Index.
