Après l''assassinat ignoble de l''un d''eux, quelques jours après le décès du roi, le coroner et frère Athelstan entrent en scène. Leur mission va les mener des taudis de Whitefriars aux ors et aux fastes de la Cour.

Designed as a textbook for both graduate and advanced undergraduate students, Introduction to Plasma Physics is organized into six Units which lead the reader comprehensively through the fundamentals of modern plasma physics. Units on single-particle motion, plasmas as fluids and collisional processes in plasmas lay the groundwork for the understanding of the subject. The text then moves on to apply this understanding to waves and instabilities in a fluid plasma, and finally introduces the kinetic theory of plasmas and re-examines waves and instabilities from the kinetic viewpoint. Many problems of varying levels of difficulty complement the book. In addition, two computer programs (included in both Macintosh and IBM formats) allow the student to examine and experiment with theoretical models of complex plasma phenomena -- making this an invaluable modern teaching resource. The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has long been home to some of the most exciting and important developments inplasma physics and, through its association with Princeton University, sponsors a highly regarded undergraduate and graduate educational program
