Carpenter (Editor), Sinerik Ayrapetyan (Editor), Academic Press, ©1994 The two-volume work (Volume 1 [0-12-160261-3] is subtitled Sources and Mechanisms) is about the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation in the nonionizing and lower-frequency range of the spectrum. At issue is the major question of whether there are significant biological effects from these very low-energy fields, and if so, how they interact with biological tissues to produce their effects. Many of the chapters in the two volumes focus on the electric and magnetic fields produced by electricity. Other chapters focus on higher frequency fields such as those used in microwave ovens, radio and television signals, and other communication systems. The contributions to Volume 2 deal with beneficial uses of electromagnetic fields in medicine and biology as well as with the possible harmful effects.

This book is a clarion call sounding the message that consumers need not allow themselves to become guinea pigs for new technologies whose long-term health effects are unknown. It is essential reading for the 90,000,000 Americans currently using wireless phones, and the millions who may begin using them in the future. In 1993, as news reports appeared of people using cell phones who'd also developed brain tumors, Carlo was hired by the cell-phone industry to affirm the safety of its product. He soon learned there was little research into whether these phones could impair human health, and no consensus among scientists on the question. Carlo's own research intensified his concern, especially the startling discovery that human blood cells could be damaged by the radiation emitted from a cell phone. He made urgent recommendations to the industry, including a plea that cell phones not be marketed to children. Yet, phones emblazoned with cartoon characters soon hit the market. In 1999, the industry quit funding the independent research directed by Carlo, investigated his private life, and began a whispering campaign that sought to discredit him. Appalled but undeterred, he has now brought his case to the public in a powerful assessment of the dangers posed by wireless phones-with safeguards readers can use to protect themselves-that is destined to be placed alongside such classics as Silent Spring, Microbe Hunters, and The Coming Plague.

Order from Amazon.com	Cross Currents The Promise of Electromedicine, the Perils of Electropollution Dr, Robert O. Becker, J. P. Tarcher, ©1991 Cross Currents describes the meeting of two opposing trends: the rapid rise of electromedicine, which promises to unlock the secrets of healing, and the parallel rise of electropollution, which poses a serious environmental danger. In this groundbreaking book, Robert Becker, M.D., explains how new and nontraditional healing techniques such as acupuncture, homeopathy, visualization, hypnosis, and electrotherapy work through an invisible common source -- the body's electrical system. But at the same time that exciting insights into how to use the body's inherent healing abilitiese are gained, electromagnetic fields radiating from powerlines, radar, microwave ovens, VDTs, satellites, radios, and even electric blankets are attacking our bodies' resources. Researchers are finding that this radiation correlates with increases in cancer, birth defects, depression, learning disabilities, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alzheimer's Disease, AIDS, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. "The single best guide on electrobiology [now] available." -- Louis Slesin, editor of Microwave News
Order from Amazon.com	The Electric Wilderness Andrew Marino and Joel Ray With a preface written by Dr. Robert O. Becker Paperback - 120 pages San Francisco Press, © 1986 ISBN: 0911302557 "The Electric Wilderness is a classic in its genre--a well-written, first-person account of the perils to public health when the politics of science reigns over the well-being of citizens. A full decade before A Civil Action exposed the behind-the-scenes maneuvers of the chemical industry, Andrew Marino and Joel Ray mapped out the dark political corridors of another industry -- the powerline utilities. Dr. Marino and Dr.Robert Becker were the first whistleblowers trying to alert the public to the fact that the powerline frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum were not biologically benign. This is the story of what happened to them in the very early days of that struggle. It is also a coming-of-age story about a young scientist who naively thought that doing the right thing was what mattered the most, and that good would prevail. Anyone interested in EMFs, or in cell-phone issues, should read this book. Many of the same people are still controlling the subject and the public discourse--to the industry's advantage. The Electric Wilderness is timeless and the subject continues to be of utmost importance to the public health. This book connects a lot of dots." -- B. Blake Levitt, Author, Electromagnetic Fields, A Consumer's Guide to The Issues and How to Protect Ourselves From a review written by a reader at Amazon.com: "This little book does more to expose how huge companies, arm in arm with government, control decisions made about the lives of average citizens than most I have read. The authors submit evidence on how some government level decisions affecting our health and safety are made NOT with our welefare in mind, but are based entirely on the profit motive. In the case of this book it is the mega-giant electric companies who purchased government favors allowing them to build power lines across land occupied by innocent families. Researchers who pointed out the chronic and deadly conditions caused by the electro-magnetic fields were put out of business and their data suppressed. "This is a true story about the researchers' confrontation with the companies and government policy makers. A gut-wrenching account of the victimization of US citizens (researchers, workers, families), this book is an eye opener and a must read for those who have any sort of concern that some government agencies are prostituting themselves to big business."

Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) are generated by all electrical devices, such as lights, appliances, powerlines, and office equipment. The health risks have been covered up by the power companies, the military, and even the White House itself, for when Scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency wanted to label EMFs as a "Class B carcinogen" (like cigarettes) they were prevented from doing so. Now the truth about the EMF-cancer connection is being told. This book is an invaluable guide to the risks of EMFs and the steps you can take to protect yourself and your family, including: How saving energy can cut your exposure to EMFs. Which home appliances and office machines are safe and unsafe. How to maintain a safe distance from various sources of EMFs. How to arrange your work space to cut exposure to EMFs. Where to place children's to keep them out of electromagnetic fields. How to avoid EMF exposure in your neighborhood. Ellen Sugarman is an investigative journalist who specializes in reporting on medical coverups.
