Inhaltsangabe

From the first demonstrations in 1877 of the liquefaction of oxygen by Cailletet in Paris and Pictet in Geneva, the expanding science and technology of low temperatures, or cryogenics, has developed an international identity of its own. This book describes the origins and history of cryogenics through the eye-witness accounts of world leaders in the field. An introductory chapter by the editor creates a framework for the rest of the volume. The 18 chapters describe the history of research efforts in different countries, the establishment of several early centers that pioneered important work, and the pursuit of crucial investigations into hydrocarbon processing and liquefied natural gas production. A wealth of photographs from national archives rounds out the volume. The result is a uniquely international perspective on all key developments in cryogenic science since its origin more than a century ago. The book will make absorbing reading for all professionals working in cryogenics and the physics of low temperatures, in addition to science historians.
