I can’t say that I’ve read any textbooks that include plasma physics – just articles and papers. I will go and get Alfven and Falthammer’s Cosmic Electrodynamics immediately, though.
I really appreciate your reply Mr. Lerner, and more importantly your ability to think critically even when the mainstream does not. I feel as if I am in the same boat sometimes with other sciences – but I find it very important to remain unreasonable man: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” – George Bernard Shaw, 1903.
