The Fundamentals of Magnetism is a truly unique reference text, that explores the study of magnetism and magnetic behavior with a depth that no other book can provide. It covers the most detailed descriptions of the fundamentals of magnetism providing an emphasis on statistical mechanics which is absolutely critical for understanding magnetic behavior. The books covers the classical areas of basic magnetism, including Landau Theory and magnetic interactions, but features a more concise and easy-to-read style.

Perfect for upper-level graduate students and industry researchers, The Fundamentals of Magnetism provides a solid background of fundamentals with clear and in-depth explanations, in comparison to a brief overview before moving into more advanced topics. Many applications directly for the purpose of a deep understanding of magnetism and other non-cooperative phenomena help readers make the transition from theory to application and experimentation effortless. This book is the true 'study' of the fundamentals of magnetism, enabling readers to move into far more advance aspects of magnetism more easily.

Reis, Mario
Mario Reis is Professor at the Fluminense Federal University in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He received his PhD in 2003 from the Brazilian Center for Research in Physics (Rio de Janeiro) and the University of Aveiro (Portugal), focusing on both the experimental and theoretical aspects of Condensed Matter Physics. He completed his Master's degree in 2000 at CBPF and his undergraduate degree in 1998 at UFRJ, both in Physics. In 2002, Prof. Reis stayed at Seville University, Spain, as a Distinguished Researcher, and he has also undertaken some short-term academic visits in other countries, including Portugal and Chile. Currently, his research explores quantum and classical caloric effects, molecular magnets, quantum information in magnetic materials, and nanomagnetism. Prof. Reis maintains regular international scientific cooperation with several international universities, including countries such as Chile, EUA, Russia, China, Spain, Portugal and Brazil. Other contributions of Prof. Reis include two books on Magnetism and over 130 articles in peer-reviewed international journals. He also serves as the Editor-in-Chief of Physica B: Condensed Matter, an international Journal published by Elsevier.
