This unique volume provides a comprehensive survey of our understanding of the Universe based on the exact solutions of the theory of relativity. More precisely, it describes those models that fit with astronomical observations of galaxy clusters, cosmic voids and other key features of our Universe. This authoritative account achieves two important goals. First, it collects all independently derived cosmological solutions since the birth of relativity in 1915, and clearly shows how they are interrelated. Second, it presents a coherent overview of the physical properties of these inhomogeneous

A fresh look at the phenomenon of mode conversion with tunneling. This volume provides a thorough analysis of plasma wave resonance absorption—a mode conversion process used in wave heating and diagnostics worldwide. The only book to incorporate mode conversion into a general treatment of plasma physics and plasma waves, it describes a broad range of applications and develops methods of mode conversion that are more advanced and precise than others in use today. This monograph presents the complete theory underlying the diagnostic implications of the process, combining estimates of tunn
