The tokamak (a doughnut-shaped vacuum chamber surrounded by magnetic coils) is the principal tool in controlled fusion research. This book acts as an introduction to the subject and a basic reference for theory, definitions, equations, and experimental results. This second edition covers advances in the theory as well as the extensive experimental progress in the ten years since the writing of the first edition.
