This new version of a classic updates much of the material in earlier editions, including the first chapter, on the history of the field. Important modifications reflect major discoveries of the past decades. A historical perspective is maintained throughout. The reader is drawn into the process of discovery: starting with a phenomenon, finding plausible explanations and competing theories and finally, the solution. The theory of magnetism is practically a metaphor for theoretical physics. The very first quantum manybody theory (Bethe's ansatz) was devised for magnetic chains, just as meanfield theory was invented a century ago by Weiss to explain Curie's Law.The first two chapters of this book are immensely readable, taking us from prehistory to the ''spin valves'' of the most recent past. Topics in subsequent chapters include: angular momenta and spin (Chapter 3), quantum theory of simple systems, followed by increasingly technical insights into ordered and random systems, thermal fluctuations, phase transitions, chaos and the like. Contemporary developments in nanotechnology now seek to take advantage of the electron's spin as well as of its charge. The time is not far off when nanocircuits made entirely of silicon exhibit such manybody properties as superconductivity or ferromagnetism without any superconducting materials or magnetic ions being present. The reader of this book will be prepared for such exotic twentyfirst century applications.Daniel C Mattis, BS, MS, PhD, Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), is a frequent lecturer at research institutions and the author of several textbooks and numerous research articles. His expertise includes manybody theory, electrical conductivity, quantum theory of magnetism and most recently, nanotechnology.
