Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history and development of the scientific understanding of terrestrial magnetism, from ancient observations of magnetic declination, through the Renaissance, and into the Enlightenment. The author argues that theories of terrestrial magnetism substituted magnetism for gravity and force in order to account for the movements of the planets, the sun, and the moon, and the tides. He investigates the ways in which the analogy with the tides shaped ideas about magnetism from the 17th to the 19th century. The book reveals how the search for a terrestrial magnetic pole was central to debates about the nature of magnetism, the shape of the Earth, and the existence of magnetic fluids.
