Principles of Plasma Discharges and Materials Processingby Michael A. Lieberman; Alan J. Lichtenberg
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 166.00A Thorough Update of the Industry Classic on Principles of Plasma Processing The first edition of Principles of Plasma Discharges and Materials Processing, published over a decade ago, was lauded for its complete treatment of both basic plasma physics and industrial plasma processing, quickly becoming the primary reference for students and professionals. The Second Edition has been carefully updated and revised to reflect recent developments in the field and to further clarify the presentation of basic principles. Along with in-depth coverage of the fundamentals of plasma physics and chemistry, the authors apply basic theory to plasma discharges, including calculations of plasma parameters and the scaling of plasma parameters with control... more...
Janice VanCleave's Energy for Every Kidby Janice VanCleave
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 12.95How do plants make their own food? Why do the different strings on a guitar have different sounds? What does the color of a star tell you about how hot the star is? What's the difference between gamma rays, X-rays, and microwaves? Now you can discover the answers to these and many other fascinating questions about energy for yourself with this fun-filled science resource. Packed with illustrations, Janice VanCleave's Energy for Every Kid presents entertaining, challenging experiments and activities to help you understand the different types of energy--including heat, sound, electricity, and light--and how they bring about change in the world around you. You'll develop your problem-solving skills as you create a "leaping frog" that turns... more...
The Fourth State of Matterby Shalom Eliezer
CRC Press 2001; US$ 42.95The fourth state of matter, known to physicists as plasma, is a fluid of electrically charged particles, often at very high temperatures. This book provides an overview of plasma physics for those starting out in their understanding of it. It is intended for scientists and lay readers alike. more...
The Interaction of High-Power Lasers with Plasmasby Shalom Eliezer

Introduction to Dusty Plasma Physicsby P.K SHUKLA
CRC Press 2001; US$ 139.95An introduction to dusty plasma physics containing a detailed description of dusty plasmas in our Solar System, the Earth's mesophere and in laboratory discharges. more...
Laser-Aided Diagnostics of Plasmas and Gasesby K Muraoka
CRC Press 2000; US$ 149.95Here, the authors have taken a unique approach in treating laser aided diagnostics as a unified subject instead of the usual and disjointed approach of describing each application as a separate system. The first part introduces laser-aided study of gases, while the second describes applications. more...
