Overview

"""The Cold Wars"" tells the history of superconductivity, providing perspective on the development of the field and its relationship with the rest of physics and the history of our time. The authors provide a rare look at the scientists and their research, mostly little known beyond a small coterie of specialists. Superconductivity provides an excellent example of the evolutionh of physics in the 20th century: the science itself, its epistemological foundations, and its social context."
