Comprehensive discussions are given for each of the following chapters: (1) effects of transport on Tokamak discharges, (2) drift waves in an inhomogeneous plasma, (3) conditions for drift wave instability, (4) drift wave destabilized by a small population of trapped electrons, (5) shear stabilization of drift-wave instabilities, (6) further discussion of shear stabilization, (7) a collection of formulas concerning the magnetic field and particle orbits in a torus, (8) Vlasov theory of the trapped-electron response, (9) variational calculation of eigenfunctions and eigenvalues, and (10) anomalous transport from trapped-particle instabilities.
