Named a Top Five Book of 2011 by Physics Today, USA.'... the
editors deserve praise for the selection of topics and for
enlisting a distinguished set of authors. BCS: 50 Years is a
successful attempt to capture the history of the development of
superconductivity theory and its continuing impact. Any person
curious about superconductivity will find something in this book to
enjoy.'Physics TodayThe BCS theory of superconductivity developed
in 1957 by Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer has been remarkably
successful in explaining the properties of superconductors. In
addition, concepts from BCS have been incorporated into diverse
fields of physics, from nuclear physics and dense quark matter to
the current standard model. Practical applications include SQUIDs,
magnetic resonance imaging, superconducting electronics and the
transmission of electricity. This invaluable book is a compilation
of both a historical account and a discussion of the current state
of theory and experiment.With contributions from many prominent
scientists, it aims to introduce students and researchers to the
origins, the impact and the current state of the BCS theory.
