AI Thread Summary
For those studying plasma instabilities, a highly recommended resource is Chen's "Introduction to Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion," which is considered a foundational text. Many plasma physics textbooks cover plasma instabilities, often integrating discussions on plasma waves. It's essential to first grasp the basic theory and calculations relevant to fluid and kinetic models before delving into specialized literature on instabilities. Engaging with various texts will enhance understanding and provide a comprehensive view of the subject.

I am a plasma physicist in training and I am looking for book recommendations for plasma instabilities. If there is one book that I should buy, what is it? What is the bible for plasma instabilities?

Most plasma physics texts - either general or those emphasizing plasma waves - include quite a bit of discussion on plasma instabilities. Which books are have you looked at or studied from?

Once you are familiar with the basic theory and types of calculations needed to investigate instabilities in fluid and kinetic models then you are ready for the literature.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
