Such materials are used extensively in medical and power applications, e.g. MRI and NMR machines.

This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Glenn Reynolds' book.
Reynolds highlights that we live today in a world where individuals are strongly influent.
