In the last decade a tremendous progress has taken place in understanding the basis of magnetism, especially in reduced dimensions.
In the first part, the fundamentals of magnetism are conveyed for atoms and bulk-like solid-state systems providing a basis for the understanding of new phenomena which exclusively occur in low-dimensional systems as the giant magneto resistance. This wide field is discussed in the second part and illustrated by copious examples.
This textbook is particularly suitable for graduate students in physical and materials sciences. It includes numerous examples, exercises, and references.

From the reviews:
"This book, like Belgium, is divided into two parts … . In the first part … the fundamentals of magnetism are developed at the level of a course for a masters degree in physics. In the second part … many different aspects of magnetism in reduced dimensions are discussed. … typical senior physics students will find in this book an excellent introduction to the field. … In conclusion, this book is a good textbook for a magnetism course for physics students."
