From Lodestone to Supermagnets : Understanding Magnetic Phenomena

Editorial Reviews
Review
"If the reader is interested in a historical and philosophical perspective on magnetism, this book will…provide it." (Science Books & Films, February 2006)

Review
"There is nothing more directly magical in our experience than the attraction or repulsion of magnets. Alberto Guimaraes captures beautifully our romance with magnets. And in this, clear, readable book also shows us how trying to understand magnetic forces gave us the capability of manipulating with ease the electric and magnetic fields that make the modern electronic world."
— Roald Hoffmann
