This is considered to be one of the best introductory treatments of superconductivity and has been reprinted because of its enduring value. Based on lectures at the University of Pennsylvania, the fundamentals of the microscopic theory of superconductivity are stressed as a means of providing a framework for detailed applications of microscopic theory to specific problems. It also serves as a foundation for more recent developments.
