Clear explanations of plasma physics in the fusion context
I have found this book immensely useful and a pleasure to read as a senior undergraduate engaging in summer research in fusion. It is perfect for learning basic plasma physics in the context of fusion, which may not be easy with books that discuss plasma more generally (such as F.F. Chen's introductory book, though that is very good). The writing is highly structured and clear physical pictures are presented. There is a nice opening section on energy options and where fusion fits in, and there are sections on fusion reactor types and technologies.

There has been quite a few books published on this topic recently. CUP themselves have put out quite a few. I think this one stands out as the one for engineers, because it addresses plasma physics of course, but also engineering issues for building machines. It's not easy reading because the topic is hard, but the author does a good job of explaining things. I would recommend this book as point of entry in the topic for students of engineering or practising engineers needing an entry into the field.
