Paperback. A rigorous guide to the science, engineering, and practical realities of fusion energy. This book brings together the core physics behind nuclear fusion and the design challenges that shape today's leading reactor concepts. It is written for readers who want more than a general overview, offering a structured path from fundamental reaction physics to the hardware, diagnostics, and fuel cycle systems required for a working power plant.Beginning with the basics of binding energy, plasma behavior, and reaction rates, the book builds a clear foundation for understanding why fusion is difficult and why it remains so promising. It then moves into the central performance ideas used in the field, including the Lawson criterion, triple product, confinement time, and gain metrics, showing how scientists and engineers judge progress toward practical energy production.What the book coversFundamental fusion reactions, plasma states, and energy releasePlasma physics essentials, including transport, collisions, and magnetic behaviorTokamaks and stellarators, with attention to geometry, current drive, and steady operationInertial confinement concepts, target physics, compression, and instability controlHeating methods, power coupling, turbulence, stability, and disruption mitigationMaterials damage, neutron effects, tritium breeding, and blanket engineeringDiagnostics, data acquisition, and experimental validation methodsThe engineering chapters are especially useful for readers interested in how fusion systems are actually built and operated. Topics include magnetic confinement design, auxiliary heating, plasma control, wall loading, radiation damage, activation, and the demands of a closed fuel cycle. The result is a balanced treatment that connects theory to the constraints of real devices.Ideal for students, researchers, engineers, and technically curious readers, this volume explains why fusion reactor development depends on both scientific insight and large-scale systems integration. It is a practical reference for anyone seeking a serious, well-organized understanding of the path toward fusion energy. This item is printed on demand.

What the book covers
- Fundamental fusion reactions, plasma states, and energy release
- Plasma physics essentials, including transport, collisions, and magnetic behavior
- Tokamaks and stellarators, with attention to geometry, current drive, and steady operation
- Inertial confinement concepts, target physics, compression, and instability control
- Heating methods, power coupling, turbulence, stability, and disruption mitigation
- Materials damage, neutron effects, tritium breeding, and blanket engineering
- Diagnostics, data acquisition, and experimental validation methods
The engineering chapters are especially useful for readers interested in how fusion systems are actually built and operated. Topics include magnetic confinement design, auxiliary heating, plasma control, wall loading, radiation damage, activation, and the demands of a closed fuel cycle. The result is a balanced treatment that connects theory to the constraints of real devices.
Ideal for students, researchers, engineers, and technically curious readers, this volume explains why fusion reactor development depends on both scientific insight and large-scale systems integration.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
