Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss specific heat, thermal expansion and thermal conductivity of solids. Initially, these properties were measured at room temperature. The development of low temperature techniques in the earlier part of the twentieth century led to measurements which revealed many interesting features which, in turn, led to theories involving new concepts.
