This book presents the theory of gas discharge plasmas in a didactical way. A gas discharge plasma is an ionized gas which is supported by an external electric field. The properties of a gas discharge plasma depend on its gas component, types of external fields, their geometry and regimes of gas discharge.

This is a data book for atomic physicists. It summarizes all important basic data in atomic physics. Numerical data are given for atoms, atomic processes and atomic systems along with basic concepts and simple models for atomic physics of this area.

This book looks at global atmospheric processes from a physical standpoint using available current and past observational data taken from measurements of relevant atmospheric parameters. It describes various aspects of the current atmospheric state and its future evolution, focusing primarily on the energetic balance of the Earth and atmosphere, and taking into consideration the multi-faceted global equilibrium between these two systems, carbon, and water. The analysis presented in this book restricts itself to those objects and processes that allow us to obtain reliable conclusions and...
