✦ Synopsis

`Covers the full range of properties of HTS....belongs on the desk of every scientist and engineer working with HTS.'
MRS Bulletin
`Because of HTSCs potential for a strong impact on business and society, it is important that new and working engineers become knowledgeable in the technology. This book will become an invaluable resource for understanding the fundamental characteristics of the materials and how they can be used.'
from the Foreword by Donald W. Von Dollen, Electric Power ResearchInstitute
