This book is derived from contributions to the long running Culham Plasma Physics Summer School. The purpose is to give students new to high temperature plasma physics a comprehensive understanding of the basic theory, assuming the minimum of prior knowledge. Additionally it provides a thorough introduction to the two key fields of application: fusion (which subdivides into magnetic confinement and laser-driven approaches) and space physics. Each aspect is covered in a chapter by a world class expert (or small group thereof) on that topic.
