Summary: A nice short introduction to superconductivity
Comment: I cannot help associating this book to the A,B,C of Superconductivity. I remember that, during the ICTP Workshops on High Tc superconductors around 1990, the book immediately dissapeared from the shelves at the ICTP library: too many people from other fields were introducing themselves in the -then fashionable-subject of superconductors. In particular, the book's attempt to make BCS theory understandable is notorious. Generally speaking, all the subjects are treated with simplicity and rigor, and some of them (as transport currents in the mixed state of type II superconductors) are approached in a specially comprehensible fashion. The use of the pendulum analogue for Josephson devices is very convenient to "hook" the reader. If I don't give it five stars, it is because much newer books as "Foundations of Applied Superconductivity", by Orlando and Delin (1991) are more updated introductions to the subject. However, "Introduction to Superconductivity" is still perhaps the winner of the 100-meter-run in Superconductivity.
