空间与实验室中的等离子体波，第一卷。书名/作者声明：by J.托马斯和B.J.地标。爱丁堡大学出版社，1969。487页。GB 8.这本书是记录北约空间等离子体波高级研究所和1968年4月在挪威罗托斯举行的实验室的两卷书中的第一卷。卷。根据编辑的说法，我包含了基本的介绍性和评论论文，而Vol。II包含了人们期望从会议中得出的当前研究的通常报告。事实上，沃尔。我还包含了一些专门的研究报告(特别是在实验室等离子体部分)，这些报告与本书的其余部分有些不同。所涉及的主题(共22篇论文)包括：电离层等离子体共振；等离子体探测器和天线；以及甚低频发射现象。单独来看，许多评论论文都很好，但每篇都很短，以至于作者除了发展最基本的概念和提供简短的参考书目外，没有空间做更多的事情。由于许多论文的基本性质，这本书对学生有一定的用处，但它不会作为等离子体物理教科书(正如出版商所说的那样)。一本教科书不可能通过22篇不同的文章来保持论点和符号的连续性。这本书的真正作用将是向太空和实验室的等离子体物理学家介绍彼此目前面临的问题，并为文献提供一个入口。即使是在这里，这本书也只是起到辅助作用，因为没有一个单一的主题像它在评论期刊中所涉及的那样深入。康沃尔[康沃尔
Plasma Waves in Space and Laboratory, Vol. I. Edited by J. 0. THOMAS and B. J. LANDMARK. Edinburgh University Press, 1969. 487 pp. £8. This book is the first of two volumes recording the NATO Advanced Study Institute in Plasma Waves in Space and in the Laboratory, held at ROTOS Norway, in April 1968. Vol. I, according to the editors, contains basic introductory and review papers, while Vol. II contains the usual reports of current research that one expects to come out of a conference. In fact, Vol. I also contains a few specialized research reports (especially in the laboratory plasma sections) which are somewhat out of character with the rest of the book. The subjects covered (in 22 papers altogether) are: ionospheric plasma resonances; plasma probes and antennas; and VLF emission phenomena. Taken individually, many of the review papers are quite good, but each is so short that no author has the space to do much more than develop the most basic concepts and furnish a short bibliography. Because of the basic nature of many of the papers, the book will be of some use to the student, but it will not serve as a plasma physics textbook (as the publishers argue that it is). One cannot have the continuity of argument and notation that a textbook needs by putting together 22 separate articles. The real function of the book will be to introduce space and laboratory plasma physicists to each other's current problems, and to furnish an entree to the literature. Even here, this volume will play only a supplementary role, since no single subject is covered in the depth which it would receive in a review journal. j jy[ CORNWALL
