I have not noted it before as It was not generally available to the great unwashed masses or other DARPA outsiders. (it is a nice little pocket sized book of super stuff relating to plasmas.)

That's right, the good folks at the Naval Research Laboratory's plasma physics division have sensed its true value and placed it on the WWW in both PDF and Postcript formats. That means no more squinting at the micro text for these 53 year old eyes in the dog eared and yellowing pages. The Web version is in 8 1/2 X 11 full page format. It is a full 63 pages, so your printer will be grindin' away at it for a while. (make sure you have enough paper.)
