Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this text systematically develops the concepts of electrical acceleration of gases for propulsion. Starting with primary physical principles and concluding with realistic space thruster designs, it surveys aspects of electricity, magnetism, and ionized gas mechanics underlying physical mechanisms of gas acceleration. 1968 edition.

This review is from: Physics of Electric Propulsion (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
Great Book! Well written and easy to follow. Very informative of the field and subject matter. Great as an introduction to electric propulsion and for an advanced understanding. Chapters are supported with pictures and diagrams that illustrate the concepts presented.

Has been the reference textbook on EP since many years. May need some updating, but it's still a great starting point.

This review is from: Physics of Electric Propulsion (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
I am an advanced undergrad, with 3 semesters of Calculus based physics for scientists and engineers, 6 semesters of ugly math, and stellar astrophysics and some study of upper division physics. This book is above me. It is designed for graduate students in physics, or those with more physics than I have. I wish I had all this physics, but I don't.
