Offers an introduction to the physics of fast secondary or induced nonlinear instabilities in wave-sustaining media, integrating a full general theory with results from across several subject areas. Concepts are presented along with specific calculations and detailed descriptions of mathematics involved. Some phenomena explained are wave-turbulent instabilities, vortex dynamics, beam-plasma interactions, plasma confinement, and magnetic fields in galaxies.
