This authoritative second edition of David Frank-Kamenetskii’s Lectures on Plasma Physics stands as a foundational text in the development of Soviet nuclear and astrophysical science. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of ionized gas dynamics, including the arrangement of magnetohydrodynamics, wave propagation in plasma, and the kinetic theory of charged particles. Frank-Kamenetskii, a key figure in the Soviet atomic project and a pioneer in chemical physics, delivers a sophisticated yet accessible exposition of plasma equilibrium and stability—topics that were of paramount importance during the 1960s race to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion. This volume, published by "Atomizdat," serves as a vital primary source for understanding the pedagogical methods used to train the engineers and physicists who built the first Tokamak reactors and explored the mysteries of stellar interiors.
