This "fantastic story" of one of physics' great riddles takes us through centuries of scientific history (Simon Lamb, author of Devil in the Mountain).
Why do compass needles point north—but not quite north? What guides the migration of birds, whales, and fish across the world's oceans? How is Earth able to sustain life under an onslaught of solar wind and cosmic radiation? For centuries, the world's great scientists

Description
Much of modern science is based upon the theories and discoveries of William Gilbert, the brilliant English physician and physicist who was the first great experimental scientist. Gilbert was the first to use the word "electricity," to recognize mass as distinct from weight, to discover the effect of heat upon magnetic bodies, to differentiate clearly between static electricity and magnetism, and to explain phenomena of terrestrial magnetism in terms...

Description
Surprising and seemingly impossible effects result from the 40 experiments included in this fascinating science resource all based on real magnetic physics. Each experiment such as using a common refrigerator magnet to create a three-dimensional image or floating a magnet and carbon sheet in midair is outlined with step-by-step instructions and diagrams that illustrate the key concepts of magnetism. Even the most experienced science teacher or at-home...

Le magnétisme est l'un des phénomènes qui a le plus frappé l'imagination de l'homme, au point que ce mot désigne aujourd'hui des réalités très diverses : il s'agit d'abord d'une science fort ancienne et néanmoins toujours d'actualité dont le champ d'application ne cesse de s'étendre ; ensuite, ...

Description
Magnetic Current is a short pamphlet by eccentric sculptor and writer Edward Leedskalnin. Detailing his many experiments with magnets, this work posits that it is not metal itself that is magnetic. Rather, tiny individual magnet particles that circulate in and around the metal give it its pull.
Edward Leedskalnin was born in Latvia in 1887. While his formal education lasted only until 4th grade, he was intensely curious and spent much of his youth...

"If you're a curious child and you get a new dog, you discover all kinds of things. Gravity has new meaning, when you're racing down a slide toward your eager-beaver dog waiting at the bottom (uh-oh!). Friction has a new meaning, when your slippery dog escapes from the bath (soap+fingers=not enough friction). But love has a new meaning too, when you and your cosmic dog become the center of your own universe."--

Description
Le titre de cette étude aurait dû être : « Du magnétisme en général et du magnétisme de la terre en particulier »; mais on a désigné aussi par le nom de magnétisme un ensemble de phénomènes physiologiques bien plus connus des gens du monde que le magnétisme proprement dit, qui est du ressort de la physique et de la météorologie. Or il ne s'agira ici que des propriétés physiques et de la théorie de l'aimant, enfin, de la terre considérée...
