This review is from: Electromagnetic Fields: A Consumer's Guide to the Issues and How to Protect Ourselves (Paperback)

Its a good introduction to the subject although it would be nice to see an updated edition. Gives a great history on how the standards came to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Way to Educate Yourself About EMFs, Aug 6 2000

By

Sherry Kahn (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Electromagnetic Fields: A Consumer's Guide to the Issues and How to Protect Ourselves (Paperback)

As an author of a book on a related subject (magnetic healing), I know firsthand how challenging it is to write in a user-friendly fashion about the complex subject of electromagnetic fields and their effect on health.

B. Blake Levitt's extraordinary commitment of time and effort has resulted in a work that makes this complex subject easy to understand. Not only has she succeeded in explaining the untoward health effects of EMFs, but she also gives her readers a look into the complex political and commercial forces that have led to our current state of affairs.

Faced with the potential of a cell phone tower being placed directly overhead in my high-rise apartment building, I used Ms. Levitt's book as a study guide and subsequently consulted her for additional background information. I have no doubt that this information was key in holding off the installation of the tower.

This book is a "must read" for anyone concerned about EMFs -- and everyone should be!

5.0 out of 5 stars Technical information made comprehensible, July 24 2000

By

Roni Beth Tower, Ph.D. (New Milford, Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Electromagnetic Fields: A Consumer's Guide to the Issues and How to Protect Ourselves (Paperback)

I am a research scientist with a background in psychosocial epidemiology who became interested in the impact of electromagnetic waves on physical, mental and emotional health when I was confronted with applications to construct telecommunications towers in our newly adopted home town. My ideas and information from physics courses were both rusty and dated. Moreover, in postgraduate work I had learned enough about environmental impacts on fetal and child development, neurological functioning, and sleep cycle disruption to be concerned. I wanted to efficiently come up to speed on theories about the waves' effects and peer-reviewed data that tested those theories. Ms. Levitt's book provided an extremely comprehensible and yet responsible orientation to the mechanisms by which electromagnetic waves operate, the research on their impact that was available as of its writing, and the political and economic influences of industry and governmental forces. PLEASE have her update it with the inclusion of the research of the last few years. Solid research findings are supporting her arguments at an escalating rate and they deserve to be disseminated. The public health hazards of unmonitored electromagnetic waves (especially in the rapidly proliferating rf frequencies) are real and an educated public is our best protection against their potential damage.
