The perennial bestseller that you MUST READ in order to fully understand the interplay between electric energy and living organisms

The Body Electric tells the fascinating story of our bioelectric selves. Robert O. Becker, a pioneer in the field of regeneration and its relationship to electrical currents in living things, challenges the established mechanistic understanding of the body. He found clues to the healing process in the long-discarded theory that electricity is vital to life. But as exciting as Becker's discoveries are, pointing to the day when human limbs, spinal cords, and organs may be regenerated after they have been damaged, equally fascinating is the story of Becker's struggle to do such original work.

The Body Electric explores new pathways in our understanding of evolution, acupuncture, psychic phenomena, and healing.

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.

Roberto Becker widmet sich den bislang vernachlassigten Grundsatzen, die sich mit der ordnungsmassigen Prognosebildung befassen. Ausgehend von der empirischen Erkenntnis, dass Prognoseaussagen und -ankundigungen signifikante Kapitalmarktreaktionen entfalten, und angesichts im Rahmen der Prognoseberichterstattung konstatierter qualitativer Mangel, setzt sich der Autor mit der normativen Entwicklung eines Grundsatzsystems zur Prognosebildung auf Basis der Grundsatze ordnungsmassiger Buchfuhrung auseinander. Ziel ist ein konsistentes und prognosezweckadaquates Grundsatzsystem, das ermoeglicht, eine fundierte und entscheidungsnutzliche Prognose zu bilden bzw. durch Ableiten eines Sollobjekts zu bestatigen. Die Prognosebildung lasst sich in die vier Grundsatzgruppen Dokumentations-, System-, Rahmen- und Kerngrundsatze systematisieren, die jedoch in hierarchischer Beziehung zueinander stehen. Der AutorRoberto Becker ist Mitarbeiter bei einer Wirtschaftsprufungsgesellschaft im Bereich Audit und hat berufsbegleitend am Lehrstuhl fur Internationale Rechnungslegung und Wirtschaftsprufung der TU Chemnitz promoviert.

Den Umsatzerlosen kommt hinsichtlich ihrer Informations- und Anspruchsbemessungsfunktion eine wesentliche Bedeutung zu. Sie stellen eine zentrale Grosse zur Gewinnermittlung dar und bilden die Ausgangsgrosse zur Bestimmung der Anspruche von Unternehmenskoalitionaren. Roberto Becker geht der Frage nach, inwieweit die handelsrechtlichen Regelungen zur Umsatzrealisation den Zwecken der Rechnungslegung dienen. Der Autor zeigt, welche gesetzlichen Vorschriften fur die Umsatzrealisation der allgemeinen Geschaftstypen sowie fur die Mehrkomponentengeschafte und die langfristige Auftragsfertigung existieren. Fur die zwei betrachteten Spezialfalle -Mehrkomponentengeschafte und langfristige Auftragsfertigung - zeigt er neben der gesetzlich gewollten bilanziellen Abbildung weitere Losungsansatze auf, die er aus Sicht der Rechnungslegungszwecke einschatzt. Der Autor pruft, ob die derzeitigen Vorschriften die Rechnungslegungszwecke optimal erfullen und empfiehlt die Umsetzung zweckadaquater Losungsansatze. "

Dr. Becker tells of the emergence of electromagnetic medicine, which promises to unlock the secrets of healing, and the growth of electromagnetic pollution, which poses a clear environmental danger. He explains the effectiveness of alternative healing methods that use parts of the body's innate electrical healing systems, and warns that our bodies are being adversely affected by power lines, computers, microwaves and satellite dishes.
