Review of Controlled Thermonuclear Fusion
There is a lot of information on magnetic confinment fusion aka TOKAMAK, and on inital confinment fusion such as NIF, even some on the Z pinch. I was disapointented that there was only 1/2 of 1 page on Stellarators. Had there been more on Stellarators I would have given it 5 stars.
