'… this book is a collection of almost distinct chapters that can whet the appetite of a reader interested in the application of plasma physics to aerodynamics. Much of the treatment focusses on basic plasma physics and this content can be considered as a starting point for a more in-depth study necessary to understand these basics.' David MacTaggart, The Aeronautical Journal
