In the first chapter of the book the author asks the question Why we measure temperature? He provides us the answer by not only telling us that temperature is a basic physical quantity but rather how temperature effects our daily life, from the mundane as to what we wear to the importance of temperature in the global climate. Fortunately, the author does not stop here but continues to tantalize the reader to continue reading with a captivating chapter on the history of thermometry. The following chapters in the book are more technical and present a detailed and comprehensive treatment of thermometry; an excellent and multifaceted overview of interest to numerous groups. The book addresses the most basic aspects of thermometry and the necessary background, thus it can serve, first and foremost, as a textbook for graduate and undergraduate students, as well as for accomplished researchers in the field. Each chapter begins with a straightforward physical description and then moves on to a more detailed account. The book contains 12 chapters, clearly written and insightful, spanning the importance of thermometry in everyday life, the basic methods and instruments for measuring temperature, luminescence thermometry using transition and lanthanide ion doped materials, semiconductor quantum dots, organic materials, applications, and nanothermometry.

cover the emerging fields of temperature measurements at the nanoscale and the importance of multifunctionality, which combines thermometry with other luminescence applications, respectively.

All chapters are sufficiently detailed and provide a most useful and interesting one-volume compendium for the scientific community (chemistry, physics, engineering, biology, and medicine). The book affords the reader an excellent and balanced list of references from the recent literature. The book can be proudly recommended to students, teachers, and seasoned researchers without any restriction or hesitation.
