Overview
A long overdue update, this edition of Introduction to Magnetism and Magnetic Materials is a complete revision of its predecessor. While it provides relatively minor updates to the first two sections, the third section contains vast updates to reflect the enormous progress made in applications in the past 15 years, particularly in magnetic recordin

Reviews
... I consider this book admirable from a didactical point of view and an ideal tool for an undergraduate course on magnetism and magnetic materials. Although the subject is very complex, with its intermixing of quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and solid state physics, besides the subtleties of the physical metallurgy, the author plainly conveys the main physical ideas lying behind the macroscopic phenomenology of magnetism in the materials and their ultimate realization in actual technological applications. -Dr. Fausto Fiorillo, Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica ... a welcome update. ... maintains the original organization in three parts, covering macroscopic magnetism, magnetism in materials, applications, and still uses the approach in which new concepts are introduced by a question that helps the reader identify the key point going to be addressed. ... will certainly continue to be a useful textbook for students approaching magnetism for the first time, as well as a quick reference for anybody seeking information about notions and facts pertaining to magnetism and magnetic materials. -Giorgio Bertotti, INRIM, Torino, Italy ... an excellent introductory text which covers in a very readable way the basics of magnetism and its application in three main technological areas of soft and hard magnetic materials and magnetic recording. It is an invaluable text for students embarking on research degrees in magnetic materials and their applications. -Roy Chantrell, The University of York
