Lee, Florida State University * Readable, fascinating book...The book is for everyone from high school students to seasoned researchers. * Choice * In this readable, fascinating book, Speller (Oxford Univ.) successfully manages an almost impossible task: present all modern concepts of materials science within the context of the basic theory,measurements,processing, and engineeringapplicationsof superconductors. * J. Lambropoulos, University of Rochester, CHOICE connect * Well-written in an accessible style with the potential to attract a broad readership. * David Cardwell, University of Cambridge * A new and very interesting way to introduce materials science... the author's enthusiasm for the topic is clearly on display and I am sure it will be infectious. * Peter J. Lee, Florida State University * I would recommend this book to anyone who had an interest in super-conducting materials, or material science in general. It could be understood by anyone that had a secondary school level of science education, but I still found it interesting and informative as someone with a doctorate in materials science. I will be recommending this book to my colleagues in material science as well as my friends working in admin. * David Routledge, Materials World * Author InformationSusannah Speller is a Professor of Materials Science at the University of Oxford and a Fellow at St. Catherine's College, Oxford.
