Product Description
Review
I can warmly recommend this book to anyone considering giving a course on magnetism and for those students of condensed matter physics, who have no access to such a course ... it is also very useful and enjoyable reading for those who have been working in magnetism for some time and have felt the lack of a systematic review of the subject. (Contemporary Physics )
... the reader or student obtains a very thorough and systematic background in which to place the large variety of subject matter. (Contemporary Physics )

Format:Paperback
I would recommend this book for starting graduate students and final year undergrads that want to improve their understanding of magnetism. This is an excellent book to for an experimentalist to flick through and pick out topics that you have seen in papers and not understood. For me, it is consistently clear and relevant, with enough maths to be precise, but not so much to slow the pace of reading.
Being relatively short, I would not recommend this as a reference source, but it should be more than enough for most undergraduate courses.
Most importantly, I found this book very useful.

I have only gone through the first 30 pages or so but until now it seems to be a pretty up-to date.
The way the author treats the subject is good, but these things can always be done better. Im happy with the book.

Good overview of magnetism
5 May 2004
Format:Paperback
This book is an easy to read overview of the subject. It's a good book to review the fundamentals (para/dia/ferro/anti magnetism,
exchange interaction, etc.). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the price is a bit high, and sometimes the treatments lacks depth.

A good overview of the subject

This is a very nice book for someone new to the field, or for someone who wants to get a broad overview of some of the newer topics in magnetism. I do wish it had more of an emphasis on statistical mechanics though, since that's absolutely critical for really understanding magnetic behavior.

This book is great. I recommend to anyone who needs a book to which summarizes various concepts of physics of condensed matter.
