Not very technical.  Describes Earnshaw's theorem by fiat, not really explaining it.  Some pretty pictures.

 .p091 Fig 14: diamagnetic levitation of a thin graphite squar above 4 NIB magnets.  Centimeter scale.
 .p097 Fig 17: Andre Geim's 1997 levitating frog, 2000 !igNobel Prize.  2010 Nobel for graphene research.
 .p110 Flux Pinning in Type 2 superconductors allows more current flow.  Doesn't mention London depth.
 .p126 Leviton Ion AG (antigravity) Globe.  Amusing, reviews on Amazon suggest it is not robust or easy to use.
 .p147 Fig 27: Ahmadinejad touring the Natatz isotope separation centrifuges.  Designed by Austrian Gernot Zippe in the Netherlands, copied by Pakistan and then Iran. Vertical shiny metal cylinders wrapped with a spiral of tubing, perhaps coolant. They look two meters tall and 30 centimeters diameter in a one meter grid. They contain a carbon fiber rotor on magnetic bearings centered on needles.
 .p157 describes Boeing 5kWh/100kW flywheel with a YBCO ( yttrium-barium-copper-oxygen ) superconducting bearing
