Behind the ancient wonder, extraordinary science, and the deep emotions inspired by the magnet are stories of discovery and creation, of madness and desire, and of beauty and awe.

Eva Barbarossa is Director of Design Research & Strategy at Wondros, a media and strategic consultancy company based in Los Angeles, USA. Previously, she has been a Director of Digital Strategy at Verizon, Design Director of Future Products Lab at AOL, and Group Planning Director, Digital Strategy, at Healthcare and Wellness.
For over two thousand years magnets have inspired tales of myth, magic, exploration, science, and art. From the physical to the metaphorical, our language is littered with magnetic allusions: magnetic personalities, animal magnetism, Mesmerism, and magnetic attraction. In Magnet, Eva Barbarossa weaves together stories of ancient and modern wonders, of discovery and creation, of madness and desire, of beauty and awe, taking us from the spectacle of the aurora borealis to the disastrous searches for the North Pole.
