布朔编著的《磁性物理学和磁性材料》是一部讲述磁性基础理论的教程。书中讲述了磁矩起源，应用磁性场的响应，不同的相互作用产生了固体中磁序的不同形式，及其许多例子。书中以能够让读者充分理解材料性质的深度讲述了晶场模拟效应，晶场模拟效应在材料性质的扮演着重要角色，并以同样深度讲述了巡回电子磁性。书中还特别讲述了磁晶磁性各向异性和磁热效应，一般磁性计算知识也得以呈现。书中有一半的内容用于讲述磁性材料和性质，这使得其应用广泛。另外，本书很有技巧地讲述了永磁体、高密度记录材料、软磁性材料、Invar合金和磁控材料。

本书读者对象物理专业、材料科学和工程以及电子工程材料的高年级本科生和研究生，以及相关专业的科研人员。
