The state-of-the-art regarding thermonuclear reactions, hot plasmas, tokamaks, laser-driven compression and future reactors is given. It encompasses both magnetic and inertial confinements plus a few exotic mechanisms for nuclear fusion.It helps you dissect the question to find out what it is really asking and offers very practical and useful strategies in how to look at the question. Trust me you will not be looking for a V-8 after this.I enjoyed reading this book and I cannot wait to read his other works as I have purchased everything available on the kindle. You get the idea.My failures also came through in other relationships. Can somebody please clarify ? I put just 2 stars because of this inconsistency. So you're left feeling "great, this is starting from the beginning, I'll be able to follow." Then Chapter 2 starts talking about why you need two different yield-curves and why you need to "bootstrap" a yield curve by taking coupon rates and converting them into zero-coupon rates in order to discount future cash flows, and you go "what? What is a yield-curve? What is yield? Did I somehow miss a whole bunch of chapters here?".Then you get some Bloomberg Terminal screenshots of Forward Curve Analysis etc., leaving you totally lost. But the real value in this program is the fact it's circuit/interval training --- the best type of exercise you can do. The title is an aspiration more than an achievable
