"This book is an exquisite and touching paean to the many facets of electromagnetism, covering astrophysics and the complexities of the human brain as well as the latest experiments underway at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. After reading this enjoyable book, a layman who is not professionally dependent upon electromagnetism will come away with a new comprehension of what holds our Universe together; and even a theoretical physicist such as myself can read it with profit and pleasure..........Read More Endorsements.
About this Book
The author shows how, of the four forces of physical nature, it is the electromagnetic force that activates all of the nature around us as well as our bodies and brains. This force has been drawn upon throughout our entire evolution and plays an indispensable role in virtually all of modern technology.
Using lucid, understandable terms, the electromagnetic workings of some of the core devices of modern technology, such as the transistor and radar are explained, along with the potential role that electromagnetism can play in our growing dependence on technology for our future evolution. Discussions on the various facets of electromagnetism are enriched by relating a number of engaging vignettes about it's discoverers as well as anecdotes drawn from the author's own experience.
