"This book appears at a time when the field has reached maturity. It differs clearly from textbooks on superconductivity, as it emphasizes the interdisciplinary aspects of the fundamentals and the applications, although it does not treat the phenomenon of superconductivity by reference to quantum mechanics or the Ginzburg-Landau theory. Because of the broad coverage it is suitable for advanced and postgraduate students of physics, chemistry, materials science, and electronics, especially for those who want to get an overview of selected areas by using the literature references in the relevant chapters. For scientists and engineers working in the field of superconducting materials, this is a useful reference source, and will stimulate ideas for new applications of superconductivity."
