Editorial Review:
This book is a comprehensive treatment of fine particle magnetism and the magnetic properties of rocks. Starting from atomic magnetism and magnetostatic principles, the authors explain why domains and micromagnetic structures form in ferrimagnetic crystals and how these lead to magnetic memory in the form of thermal, chemical and other remanent magnetizations. One chapter is devoted to practical tests of domain state and paleomagnetic stability. Another deals with pseudo-single-domain magnetism, i.e., particles that contain domain walls but behave like a single domain. The final four chapters place magnetism in the context of igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, and extraterrestrial rocks. This book will appeal to researchers in the earth sciences, physics, and engineering.

Excellent book!!! 2007-12-21
This book is the best of its kind! Scientifically rigorous, easily understandable, exceptionally comprehensive and has much useful information.
It covers the basics of magnetism through to fine details of rock/soil magnetism. This subject is complex and it does take a book of its length of 600 pages to cover it. The book is well written and concise. It is possibly atypical of books of this nature in that it concentrates more on maths and the physics, rather than "environmental" aspects.
It does not include the geology of rock/soil formation etc, nor related subjects such as ferrofluids, industrial ferrites etc, nor measurement techniques. Rather, it sticks to the subject and for this reason is exceptionally comprehensive.
