Lawrence Bragg first describes and contrasts the two classes of magnetic bodies – ferro-magnetics and para-magnetics – and demonstrates the relationship between magnetic properties and temperature. He discusses the Earth’s magnetism and illustrates Wegener’s novel theory of the history of the continents. In a series of vivid demonstrations, Lawrence shows how more recent knowledge of magnetism has fully validated Wegener’s theory.
