My WorksA Very Dangerous Woman: Martha Wright and Women’s Rights
(with Sherry H. Penney, University of Massachusetts Press, 2004) The dramatic life story of Martha Coffin Wright, one of the organizers of the historic 1848 Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention. She was also a pioneer in the abolition movement, and her home was a station on the Underground Railroad. Her preserved correspondence provides an unequaled insider’s view of 19th-century reform and family life. Driving Force: The Natural Magic of Magnets
(Harvard University Press, 1996) From the “new” science of materials to everyday technology, Driving Force makes the workings of magnets a matter of practical wonder. The book will inform and entertain technical and nontechnical readers alike and will give them a clearer sense of the force behind so much of the working world. Electronic Properties of Engineering Materials
(John Wiley & Sons, 1999) Developed for an MIT undergraduate course in materials science and engineering, this text uses a balance of classical and quantum physics and chemistry to introduce the electrical, optical, and magnetic properties of metals, ceramics, polymers, and semiconductors. The writing style is much lighter than most engineering and science texts, and is very popular with students. |
