Synopses & Reviews
Superconductivity is an encyclopedic treatment of all aspects of the subject, from classic materials to fullerenes. Emphasis is on balanced coverage, with a comprehensive reference list and significant graphicsfrom all areas of the published literature. Widely used theoretical approaches are explained in detail. Topics of special interest include high temperature superconductors, spectroscopy, critical states, transport properties, and tunneling.

x Substantial art program
x In-depth treatment of bucky balls (fullerenes)
x Excellent chapter on spectroscopy
x Provides a comprehensive discussion of fullerene superconductivity
x Emphasizes high-temperature superconductivity
x Includes numerous tables with extensive up-to-date data on various superconductors
Review
Poole, Farach, and Creswick (PFC) have written a very complete book on superconductivity; they cover a broad spectrum of the properties of conventional metallic and intermetallic superconductors, cuprate superconductors, and fullerenes.

Synopsis
At last, a comprehensive reference on all aspects of superconductivity, from classic materials to fullerenes. The emphasis is on balanced coverage, with a detailed reference list of the published literature. Of special interest are the coverage of high-temperature superconductors, spectroscopy, critical states, transport properties, and tunneling. This exhaustive introduction to superconductors will be of interest to physicists, chemists, materials scientists, and engineers.
