Superconductivity

R.D. Parks, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Rochester, New York.

"...this treatise should remain the definitive one on the overall subject of superconductivity for some time. ...the level of presentation makes it suitable as a reference for graduate students as well as professional research workers....a 'must' for the library of any organization dealing in any significant way with solid-state physics. We should all be grateful to the editor of his many authors for their labors to bring this treatise to fruition."---Physics Today"As a general reference work for all those engaged in the field the book is an undoubted success."---Endeavor
