Drawing from the broad spectrum of phenomena, described in more than 100,000 articles on high-Tc superconductivity, the authors analyse the basic properties that can be understood within the framework of traditional methods of theoretical physics, e.g. for the overdoped cuprates. The book gives a pedagogical derivation of formulae describing the electron band-structure, penetration depth, specific heat, fluctuation conductivity, etc. Prediction of plasmons and their application for a new type of terahertz generators is also considered.
