This review discusses the second edition of "An Introduction to Magneto-Fluid Mechanics" by V. C. A. Ferraro and C. Plumpton, published in 1966. The book is intended for research workers in magnetohydrodynamics and plasma physics, as well as third-year undergraduates. The authors have added significant new material and changed the emphasis in some earlier sections. The text is well-suited for both theoretical and experimental studies, though it lacks experimental references. The book is divided into two sections: magnetohydrodynamics and plasma dynamics, covering the main aspects in varying degrees of detail. The authors have also recognized areas of interest likely to be important in the future. This review introduces "Notes on Thermodynamics and Statistics" by Enrico Fermi, published in 1966. The book is a reproduction of Fermi's lecture notes from his 1951-52 course on thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. The notes are highly condensed, primarily mathematical with occasional sentences linking them. They are suitable for lecturers and students in the field. The book provides insight into Fermi's thought process and his contributions to the field, such as the Fermi-Dirac statistics and the Thomas-Fermi atom. This review discusses the Journal of Plasma Physics, a quarterly publication starting in February 1967. The journal aims to bring together research in plasma physics, which has become a fashionable subject due to its relevance in areas like thermonuclear fusion and space exploration. Plasma physics involves a wide range of disciplines, including aeronautics, geophysics, astronomy, and solid-state science. The journal is derived from the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and shares similar style and typography. It is welcomed as a step towards rationalizing the publication of plasma physics research.This review discusses the second edition of "An Introduction to Magneto-Fluid Mechanics" by V. C. A.
