Description of  The Theory of Superconductivity in the High-Tc Cuprate Superconductors

This book is P. W. Anderson's longawaited full presentation of his theory of highTc superconductivity in the cuprates. He realized that this striking new phenomenon needed for its explanation not just a new mechanism or "gimmick" but a radical reworking of the electronic theory of metals, especially those of low dimension. The many fundamentally new ideas that are first fully presented here will require a rewriting of the textbooks of manybody theory, which may take decades.
