The discoveries of new superconducting materials, most of them during the last 30 years, have served as the context for further developments in theory which continue to the present. In many of these cases, the observations of superconductivity in new materials were completely unexpected. This includes even the most visible progress, the discovery of high-Tc superconductivity in copper oxides. This book presents superconductivity in this materials context and displays some of the underlying simplicity in the materials record that fueled the theoretical developments. Superconductivity provides a window from which to view the nature of electrically conducting materials. The level, while not advanced, allows the serious reader to access the current developments in the literature.
