Originally published in 1937, this book was written to provide a discussion of 'the principal problems that have occupied low temperature physicists since the time when low temperatures began to form a separate branch of experimental science'. Illustrative figures are incorporated throughout and a bibliography is also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the development of low temperature physics and the history of science.
