Table of ContentsReviewsThis book is a valuable and practical guide to many of the theoretical issues confronting tokamak researchers. It is intended as a textbook for a graduate course, but it should also be of use to established workers in the field both for its wide-ranging account of tokamak physics and as a kind of handbook or formulary. The pragmatic style and use of experimental observations make it particularly accessible to experimentalists. Mathematical Reviews Reviews of the First Edition ... this book will serve well as an introduction to the theory of tokamak equilibria and stability and to the effects of stochastic fields. In some aspects it reviews recent work. The reviewer strongly recommends this book for extensive reading. Nuclear Fusion This book by Roscoe White, a well-respected member of the fusion theory group at Princeton, is a valuable and practical guide to many of the theoretical issues confronting tokamak researchers. It is intended as a textbook for a graduate course, but it should also be of use to established workers in the field both for its wide-ranging account of tokamak physics and as a kind of handbook or formulary.

Physics Today Author InformationDr Roscoe White is a distinguished research fellow in the Theory Department at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Princeton University, and a faculty lecturer with rank of Professor. He graduated in Physics from the University of Minnesota and then obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from Princeton in 1963. After obtaining his degree he spent a year at the Lebedev Institute in Moscow as an Academy of Science exchange scientist, and two years at The International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, returning to the US to teach for six years at UCLA. In 1972 he returned to Princeton, first for two years at the Institute for Advanced Study and then to the Plasma Physics Laboratory, where he served as head of the Theory Division for six years.
