Preface to the English Edition
This book is devoted to the problem of confinement of energy and particles in tokamak plasmas. Although the first tokamaks were constructed more than half a century ago, large efforts will still be needed before a detailed description of transport in these devices will be a reality. So far, high hopes for a description of transport in tokamaks using huge multidimensional gyro-kinetic codes did not materialize. Growing attention is now focusing on the idea of self-organization in plasmas. The fusion community rejected a long ago the fundamental concept of a local connection between transport coefficients and p
