Review: This, the first of two volumes, starts with a historical introduction, beginning with the discovery of superconductivity almost 100 years ago. It then goes on to take a systematic look at the basic physics and research in the field since then. The authors describe the current thinking on conventional photon-induced superconductivity, high-Tc superconductivity, and in novel superconductivity, including triplet pairing in the ruthenates. Progress in many-bodied physics, which is a topic of central and general interest in physics, is included in many of the chapters.
