Natural magnets, Earth's magnetic field, and the ties between electricity and magnetics are all featured, in addition to the creation and use of magnets in commercial and everyday applications.

Nicely presented and simple enough to understand, yet also detailed enough to give you a good idea of the concept of magnetism and everything related to it. A bit too textbook-style in some places, but ultimately the book still managed to sustain my interest till the end.
