Product Description
Review
This book is the first to envision the field of magnetism in its entirety. (CERN Courier )
Product Description
For hundreds of years, models of magnetism have been pivotal in the understanding and advancement of science and technology, from the Earth's interpretation as a magnetic dipole to quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and modern nanotechnology. This book is the first to envision the field of magnetism in its entirety. It complements a rich literature on specific models of magnetism and provides an introduction to simple models, including some simple limits of complicated models. The book is written in an easily accessible style, with a limited amount of mathematics, and covers a wide range of quantum-mechanical, finite-temperature, micromagnetic and dynamical models. It deals not only with basic magnetic quantities, such as moment, Curie temperature, anisotropy, and coercivity, but also with modern areas such as nanomagnetism and spintronics, and with 'exotic' themes, as exemplified by the polymer analogy of magnetic phase transitions. Throughout the book, a sharp line is drawn between simple and simplistic models, and much space is devoted to discuss the merits and failures of the individual model approaches.

I bought this book recently. It is very compact and simple. It is very useful to understand the basics of certain aspects of magnetism. I suggest this book to every Graduate student working on magnetism.

mixed blessing
16 Dec 2010
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
i would describe this book as a mixed blessing, the intention is great, unfortunately the executions falls a bit short.
all the topics one would wish to be addressed are included, yet in most cases the treatment is simply missing depth & clarity
in a way the book seems to be trying to cover to many subjects.
the other important piece to note is that it requires a very solid understanding of the topics from the reader in order to follow
this is definitely not an introductory book .. of cause this is not a fault, merely an observation
