A broad region of the electromagnetic spectrum long assumed to have
no influence on living systems under natural conditions has been
critically re-examinjld over the past decade. This spectral region
extends from the superhigh radio frequencies, through de creasing
frequencies, to and including essentially static electric and
magnetic fields. The author of this monograph, A. S. Presman, has
reviewed not only the extensive Russian literatur ;"l, but also al
most equally comprehensively the non-Russian literature, dealing
with biological influences of these fields. Treated also is
literature shedding some light on possible theoretical foundations
for these phenomena. A substantial, rapidly increaSing number of
studies in many laboratories and countries has now clearly
established bio logical influences which are independent of the
theoretically pre dictable, simple thermal effects. Indeed many of
the effects are produced by field strengths very close to those
within the natural environment. The author has, even more
importantly, set forth a novel, imaginative general hypothesis in
which it is postulated that such electromagnetic fields normally
serve as conveyors of information from the environment to the
organism, within the organism, and among organisms. He postulates
that in the course of evolution or ganisms have come to employ
these fields in conjunction with the well-known sensory, nervous,
and endocrine systems in effecting coordination and integration."
