With really great pleasure I have read the book Superconductivity begins with H by Jorge Hirsch, where the conventional understanding of the mechanism of superconductivity is questioned and a novel picture proposed which captures the essentials and fundamentals of this phenomenon. The book is a real audacious critical endeavor reminding of heresy since the 70 years of common belief are disputed, based on relevant and solid facts. The book provides a historical development and current state of the art of the field and highlights the origin of the popular misunderstanding in the field irrespective of personal adversity. It is suited not only for scientists working in the field but also for all educated interested people. I strongly recommend it to students to become familiar with novel viewpoints of superconductivity. ; Annette Bussmann-Holder; Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart, Germany;
