Title: An introduction to the kinetic theory of gases and magnetoplasmas
First published: 1993
Description: "The aim of this book is to give a physical treatment of the kinetic theory of gases and magnetoplasmas, covering the standard material in as simple a way as possible, using mean-free-path arguments when possible and identifying problem areas where received theory has either failed or has fallen short of expectations. Examples of problem areas are provided by strong shock waves, ultrasonic waves (high Knudsen numbers), and transport across strong magnetic fields."--Back cover.
