This book was originally planned as the proceedings volume of the 1996 conference. However, the final book Scientific and Clinical Applications of Magnetic Microspheres is much more than the usual proceedings in that it is a current review of all the different applications of magnetic carriers. This highly useful
and educational book contains up-to-date, state of the art information of the entire field of magnetic carriers (see contents).

Another exciting book: Magnetism in medicine: A handbook 2nd Edition
This second, completely updated and extended edition of the only reference work in this growing field features new chapters on fetal magnetography and magnetic field therapy, as well as the safety aspects of magnetic fields. The main chapters are biomagnetism (biomagnetic instrumentation, cardiomagnetism, neuromagnetism and fetal magnetography), magnetic resonance (physical principles and technology of magnetic resonance imaging and modern applications of MRI) and magnetic substances and externally applied fields (magnetic monitoring as a diagnostic method, remote-controlled drug delivery, magnetic stimulation, liver iron susceptometry and more). (see contents and a review that was published in "Medical Physics"). Wiley-VCH, Berlin, 2006 |

Nanoparticles and Occupational Health The first International Symposium on Nanotechnology and Occupational Health, in 2004, brought together hygienists, manufacturers, toxicologists, materials scientists, regulators and researchers. It pointed the way to what needs to be done. The second International Symposium, 2005, Minneapolis, Minnesota, demonstrated the power and potential where there is a will: with nearly three times as many attendants, and with contributions from academics, industry, policymakers, non-government organizations and even lawyers, this second symposium established that, while there is international concern over how to ensure safe nanotech-workplaces, there is also progress being made in developing the required knowledge. This volume, a reprint from a special issue of the Journal of Nanoparticle Research, mainly draws from work presented at the 2005 symposium, diverse but united by the need for a holistic view of nanotechnology and risk.

Magnetoscience : Magnetic Field Effects on Materials: Fundamentals and Applications Magnetism is divided into ferromagnetism, paramagnetism and diamagnetism. The magnetic energy of the last two is smaller than the thermal energy at room temperature, and it was thus thought to be insufficient to overcome the activation energy associated with physical and chemical processes. Research in Japan and the development of very strong 10 Tesla magnets there started a whole new direction of magnet research. This book reviews this so-called magneto-science, starting with the basic concepts, e.g. Moses effect, magnetic levitation, polymer and nanotube orientation, followed by many examples.

This book covers how teeth, bones, kidney stones
and other things are made by nature, in a process called Biomineralization.
What is interesting to the magnetic microsphere community is the fact that
almost half the book covers the biomineralization of magnetite - and there
are lots of useful things we can learn from Mother Nature! The second edition of this book was
just published in December 2004 and contains lots of new information,
especially about the use of bacteria to grow magnetic particles (see contents).

Anybody who is really interested in the most thorough researched History
of Magnetism should read this book - however, he will have to learn German for
this purpose!

Driving Force - the natural magic of magnets
unfolds the long and colorful history of magnets: how they guided (or misguided) Columbus;
mesmerized eighteenth-century Paris but failed to fool Benjamin Franklin; lifted AC power
over its rival, DC and so on. In a way that will delight and instruct even the
nonmathematical among us, James Livingston shows us how scientists today are creating
magnets and superconductors that can levitate high-speed trains, produce images of our
internal organs, steer high-energy particles in giant accelerators, and heat our morning
coffee.
I have this book in my library and recommend it for everybody interested in magnets and magnetism - it is very entertaining and easy to read. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1996 |

Iron, Nature's Universal Element : Why
People Need Iron & Animals Make Magnets is an entertaining, challenging, but
also very informative book about the role iron plays and why it can't be replaced by any
other element.

The Iron Oxides can be considered the standard text about the chemistry of iron and discusses in great detail the structure,
properties, reactions, occurrences and uses of iron oxides. There are color tables which
make it easy to determine what you synthesized in your lab - but even more important,
there are very exact methods given of making for example magnetite and not maghemite.
