ELECTRIC UNIVERSE: The Shocking True Story of Electricity
By David Bodanis
Despite the fact that our lives are powered by electricity to an astonishing degree, most of us have little or no understanding of how or why it works. Instead, we rely on a blurry notion that it flows--like water--through wires to turn on our appliances. In Electric Universe, David Bodanis fools readers, by keeping them entertained and intrigued, into learning the science behind electricity. He does this by telling a series of stories, starting with how a backwoods American really invented the telegraph and how Samuel Morse stole the credit for it. From there, he works through the lives of Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Michael Faraday, and other pioneers. He shows how their experiments affected their lives--never more poignantly than with the tragic story of Alan Turing, whose early work designing computers wasn't enough to prevent him from being driven to suicide. It's surprisingly easy to identify with some of these brilliant scientists, because Bodanis relates their failures as well as their successes. In the end, although we may continue using words such as "current" to describe the "flow" of electrons, Bodanis makes certain that we see electrical energy for what it really is, at a subatomic, quantum level. Even so, there's not a single boring bit in the book. Electric Universe is an excellent scientific history, one that reveals both the progress of knowledge and the strange science of the wiggling electrons that run our lives. 308 pages.

The author was a medical student when his professor, an eminent scientist of the day, introduced him to the theory that all living organisms are organized by measurable electromagnetic systems. Though its a concept that has never been fully embraced by the scientific community, it was an idea that sparked a young man's imagination and has been the inspiration for a lifetime of intensive research. Throughout his successful career as a psychiatrist, Dr. Ravitz has continued to measure, document, and explore electromagnetic fields with respect to the function of the human brain. Electrodynamic Man presents the exciting discoveries and innovative applications that his research has yielded in a cogent, accessible overview of an avenue of inquiry that opens up provocative new perspectives in the fields of science, medicine and philosophy. 268 pages 2002.

The book starts by examining dosimetry which shows which parts of the body are most sensitive to microwave radiation based on studies done by US Armed Forces. Dosimetry is also predictive of the pattern of injury that one would expect to find. The second chapter explains how microwave radiation produces disease. It examines the mechanisms of disease production in living systems. It also explains how microwave injury manifests as specific organ dysfunction, be it neurological, behavioral, immune, cancer etc. The third demonstrates through the use of graphs that the parallel and symmetrical rise of certain illnesses across broad geographic areas suggests a common force acting equally on all these regions. The graphs also demonstrate that it is the rate of increase not the absolute number of cases in a given region that is important. Examines the common link between microwave radiation and seemingly unrelated illnesses. Presented in a clear language that the laymen can understand. Liberally referenced from the scientific literature. The book is designed to be generally informative as well as a reference source for the average reader. Even provides a wealth of resources that have been shown to be beneficial to offset the consequences of excess microwave exposure.

A Design & Specification Guide by Leland Hemming
Examines potential health hazards, exposure standards, and medical applications of electromagnetic (EM) fields. The second volume in the bestselling and newly revised Handbook of Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields, Third Edition, this book draws from the latest studies on the possible health effects of exposure to electric and magnetic fields. In addition to extensive reviews of physiological effects, the book contains now separate reviews of behavioral and cognitive responses to various exposures. The book also details several approaches to setting standards for exposure limits and explores the beneficial uses of EM fields in medical applications, both diagnostics and in treatment. 480 pages 2006
Electromagnetism and the Foundation of Life
FCC Office Of Engineering And Technology
This bulletin, provides assistance in determining whether FCC-regulated transmitting facilities, operations and devices comply with limits adopted by the Commission in 1996 for human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields. One of the areas discussed in Bulletin 65 is compliance with the limits adopted by the Commission for safe exposure to RF emissions from mobile and portable devices, such as non-fixed wireless transmitters and hand-held cellular telephones.
Crosscurrents describes the meeting of two opposing trends: the rapid rise of electro-medicine, which promises to unlock the secrets of healing, and the parallel rise of electropollution, which poses a pressing environmental danger. At the same time that exciting insights into how to use the body's inherent healing abilities are gained, electromagnetic fields radiating from powerlines, radar, microwave ovens, VDT's, satellites, radios, and even electric blankets are attacking our bodies' resources. Crosscurrents offers practical ways to protect ourselves in our homes and offices from the hazardous effects of electromagnetic pollution, and teaches us how to engage the healing energies of electromagnetism.

Electrodynamic fields can indicate moods and other psychological characteristics. A most interesting application of this theory was for birth control: the data showed that, through non-instrusive methods, one can determine exact moments of ovulation!

Laboratory studies of electromagnetic (EM) signal propagation through construction materials were carried out as part of the NIST initiative. In this report, power attenuation aspects are discussed. The materials investigated included brick, masonry block, eight different concrete mixes, glass, plywood, lumber (spruce-pine-fir), drywall, reinforced concrete, steel reinforcing bar grids, variations of the plywood and lumber tests in which the specimens were soaked with water, and composite specimens involving brick-faced masonry block and brick-faced concrete. For each material, varying thickness specimens were fabricated in order to measure attenuation as a function of penetration distance. Measurements of power loss were taken at 2 MHz intervals from 0.5 to 2 GHz and from 3 to 8 GHz. Frequency power spectra were discretely generated for each material as a function of thickness. Excellent tables and graphical data. Extremely useful for predicting the shielding effectiveness of common building materials. 200 pages, 1997.

"Clearly Gets the Idea Across"
Simple Ways To Make You And Your Family Safer
Government publication which tends to lean in favor of the idea that EMF dangers are unproven. Even so, it is written in clear non-technical language with good graphics explaining the concepts of EMF basics, current health study findings especially with respect to workplace settings, ongoing research, and an extensive listing of scientific references. 66 pages, photocopy. 1996

Technology has transformed this planet into an open microwave system with its satellite transmissions. While the transmission of microwaved information can be handled in a safe and effective manner to provide for global communication without affecting the overall health of our planet, the health consequences from our current method of continuous low level exposure to microwave radiation can be catastrophic.
