This advanced textbook on fundamental macroscopic plasma  physics emphasizes the nonlinear and relativistic effects  due to laser-plasma interactions.    Experiments with lasers of  high intensity helped to discover new quantum    effects and  the longitudinal components of optical radiation in             vacuum,  and this in turn led to an extension of basic plasma  physics,   which is presented here together with its impact on  classical topics such asinstabilities, solitons, resonance  absorpption, etc. The reader will also   find sections on  energy problems and nuclear fusion.
