This book offers a comprehensive and cohesive overview of transport processes associated with all kinds of charged particles, including electrons, ions, positrons, and muons, in both gases and condensed matter. The emphasis is on fundamental physics, linking experiment, theory and applications. In particular, the authors discuss:

• The kinetic theory of gases, from the traditional Boltzmann equation to modern generalizations
• A complementary approach: Maxwell's equations of change and fluid modeling
• Calculation of ion-atom...
