This book contains twelve chapters. The topics discussed are: Theory of specific heat of solids, lattice specific heat - the Einstein Model, the Debye model, theory of harmonic lattice dynamics; phonon dispersion relations, thermodynamic properties of lattice vibrations in anharmonic crystals; calorimetry below 1k, range 0.3-30k, range 5-300k, adiabatic calorimetry above 300k, drop calorimetry above 300k, levitation calorimetry, calorimeters designs; special problems in calorimetry of radioactive materials - naturally-occurring radioactive materials, fission products and other artificially-produced radioactive isotopes, transuranic materials; experimental safety - radiation safety and criticality hazards, instrument standardization and radiation damage, decontamination of equipment and facilities.
