| Book Description | The environment is now thoroughly polluted by man-made sources of electromagnetic radiation with frequencies and magnitudes never before present. Man.s activities have probably changed the earth.s electromagnetic background to a greater degree than they have changed any other natural physical attribute of the earth. The evidence now indicates that the present abnormal electromagnetic environment constitutes a significant health risk. There are also positive aspects of the relationship between electromagnetism and life. Clinical uses of electromagnetic energy are increasing and promise to expand into important areas in the near future. This book synthesizes the various aspects of the role of electricity in biology.ReviewBecker and Marino present a comprehensive review of the influence of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on living systems. beginning with an overview of the scientific and political history of bioelectrical phenomena, they go on to discuss what is known about intrinsic and natural EMFs, and the effects of man-made EMFs on the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, hematological, immune and reproductive systems.The authors, well known for their work on regeneration, develop the hypothesis that intrinsic EMFs control biological functions, while natural EMFs convey information to living organisms. Article fields, meanwhile, act as stressors -- stimuli that elicit a common physiological, adaptive response. In this well-referenced book, Becker and Marino contend that "the present abnormal electromagnetic environment can constitute a health risk." --Microwave News, June, 1982This book synthesizes the various aspects of the role of electricity in biology and emphasizes their underlying unity. It is organized in four parts. The first two parts deal with historical factors and the bio-regulatory role of electromagnetic energy. The other two parts deal with bioeffects of artificial electromagnetic energy. The most apparent effects of electricity viz, heat and shock are not included in this monograph. Nonetheless the monograph is addressed to a broad range of readers who would be stimulated to do further evaluation and research. --Medical Book News - A Guide to New Books, May, 1983This book represents the authors' provocative insights from decades of research into bioelectric effects. It begins with a historical but lively account of past research seeking to discover the vital animal or electrical forces distinguishing the living from the nonliving. Galvani's erroneous conclusions regarding animal electricity in 1786 were opportunistically diverted by Volta and others from the biologic realm into the technology of generating electricity. The discovery of voltaic electricity led to the battery-operated telegraph, the arc light, and, ultimately, to the major dominance of electricity in today's society. |
