Summary
The book begins with an exposition of the interesting history of magnetism and magnetic materials. This is followed by a short chapter discussing the role of magnetism and magnetic materials in modern society and current technological applications of magnetic materials and devices. This second chapter highlights why magnetism is considered to be more of an applied or experiemntal science rather than a theoretical one.
