This book presents a comprehensive review of a diverse range
of subjects in physics written by physicists who have all been taught
by or are associated with K C Hines. Ken Hines was a great mentor with
far-reaching influence on his students who later went on to make
outstanding contributions to physics in their careers. The papers
provide significant insights into statistical physics, plasma physics
from fluorescent lighting to quantum pair plasmas, cosmic ray physics,
nuclear reactions, and many other fields.
