Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. pp: 254 [2] D. Pictorial/printed dust jacket with white background. The first British edition. There are several soft cover copies available. Hard cover copies, on the other hand, are scarce. Naturally, they last much longer with repeated reference. This reference is the accepted authority on the history of low temperature physics. And, the author is the recognized expert on the subject. Mendelssohn gives an account of the steps taken to understand low temperatures, and the effect of these temperatures on other phenomena. The text contains several photographs, more than 45 diagrams, and index, and a list of books published by the World University Library. A very good copy with light wear to book and jacket.
