This introductory account of instabilities in plasmas concentrates on laboratory plasmas such as those encountered in fusion research, and the space plasmas studied in physics of the magnetosphere and solar atmosphere. It bridges the gap between a graduate textbook on plasma physics and specialist monographs, stressing the similarities between astrophysics and laboratory plasmas.
