Long one of nature's most fascinating phenomena, magnetism was once the subject of many superstitions, including a lodestone's supposed power to attract gold. Hidden Attractions traces the history of our fascination with magnetism, from the mystery and superstition that propelled the first alchemical experiments to the more tangible works of Faraday and Maxwell. 28 illustrations.
