What is it about?
This is the second edition of a widely used textbook at the graduate level on the physics of magnetically confined plasmas (e.g. the tokamak) which are being developed world-wide for the purpose of producing electrical power from nuclear fusion.

Why is it important?
Because of the virtually unlimited fuel source, nuclear fusion is the inevitable energy source of the future.
Perspectives
The emphasis in this textbook is the mathematical physics governing the magnetically confined plasmas, particularly those employing the tokamak confinement scheme, being developed worldwide (e.g. in the ITER project).
