Product Description
Rock Magnetism 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 ferromagnetic crystals and how these lead to magnetic memory in the form of thermal, chemical and other remanent magnetizations. The phenomenal stability of these magnetizations, providing a record of plate tectonic motions over millions of years, is explained by thermal activation theory. One chapter is devoted to practical tests of domain state and paleomagnetic stability; another deals with pseudo-single-domain magnetism. The final four chapters place magnetism in the context of igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic, and extraterrestrial rocks. This book will be of great value to graduate students and researchers in geophysics and geology, particularly in paleomagnetism and rock magnetism, as well as physicists and electrical engineers interested in fine-particle magnetism and magnetic recording.

Excellent book!!! December 21, 2007
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.
