Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cold Wars and Nobel Prizes
Review: A Fascinating and timely Scientific History! The new translation of Matricon and Waysand's book "Cold Wars" by Charles Glashausser, is extraordinarily timely and provides much of the background needed to understand the award of this year's Nobel Prize to Abrikosov, Ginzburg and Leggett, for their contributions to the understanding of superconductivity and superfluidity. The book is written in a alluring style, with a superb translation by Glashausser that will be of interest to physicist and non-physicist alike, and tells the tale of trial and tribulation that led to the understanding of superconductivity.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cold Wars, Hot Translation
Review: This book did not get the audience it deserved in its original French. With its meticulous yet spirited translation into English, it should catch fire, gripping physicists and laypeople alike with its timely commentary about classic thermodynamic issues.
