Sommario/riassunto

Mr. Pink:""Why can't we pick out our own color?""Joe:""I tried that once, it don't work. You get four guys fighting over who's gonna be Mr. Black.""-Quentin Tarantino, Reservoir DogsMen's clothes went black in the nineteenth century. Dickens, Ruskin and Baudelaire all asked why it was, in an age of supreme wealth and power, that men wanted to dress as if going to a funeral. The answer is in this history of the color black. Over the last 1000 years there have been successive expansions in the



wearing of black-from the Church to the Court, from the Cou

Sommario/riassunto

The book begins with a personal tribute to Warren E. Henry and a reprint of one of his influential papers from Physical Review. The following proceedings give a comprehensive view of recent research on the topic of magnetism, including topics from theoretical and experimental perspectives. Contributions include papers on the theoretical relationship between magnetic phenomena and superconductivity, a new class of magnetic materials produced by molecular beam epitaxy, non-linear phenomena in magnetization fields, quantum chaos in magnetic phenomena, and magnetic devices and anisotropy. The volume brings together original papers written by experts in various areas of the field of magnetism. This is one of the first books in recent years to treat all facets of the field of magnetics. The book will be a useful survey for researchers, engineers and graduate students.
