The present book provides a contemporary systematic treatment of shock waves in high-temperature collisionless plasmas as are encountered in near Earth space an

An engaging introduction to collisionless shocks in space plasmas, presenting a complete review, from first principles to current research.

This book describes the linear theory of waves and instabilities that propagate in a collisionless plasma.

This textbook begins with a description of the Earth's plasma environment, followed by the derivation of single particle motions in electromagnetic fields, with
