This book is a comprehensive design text on permanent magnets and their applications. The author begins with a brief overview of the theory of magnetism and explains the behavior of the different classes of permanent magnets and the various production processes that lead to quite diverse material characteristics. The core of the book is a detailed treatment of the methods used to design permanent magnets, including assessments of the changes they experience under practical operating conditions. The volume also describes modern analytical techniques including the finite element method, with...

While terrestrial archaeology has engaged with contemporary philosophy, maritime archaeology has remained in comparative disciplinary - or subdisciplinary - isolation. However, the issues that humans face in the Anthropocene - from global warming to global pandemics - call for transdisciplinary cooperation, and for thinking together beyond the confines of the human-centered philosophical tradition. Growing areas such as the "blue humanities" and "oceanic thinking" draw directly on our maritime past, even as they ponder the future. Theoretically engaged maritime archaeologists could contribute...
