This book presents an overview of the field of bioelectricity by
demonstrating the biological significance of electromagnetic
fields, electrical properties of tissue, biological effects of
electromagnetic energy, and therapeutic applications and health
hazards of electromagnetic energy.
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.
Going Somewhere is a dynamic autobiographical narrative about
Andrew Marino's career in science. With a depth and drama that
arise from personal involvement, the book explores an exceptionally
wide range of science-related matters: the relation between
electrical energy and life; the influence of corporate and military
power on science; the role of self-interest on the part of federal
and state agencies that deal with human health, especially the NIH
and the FDA; the importance of cross-examining scientific experts
in legal hearings; the erroneous view of nature that results when
the perspective of physics is extended into biology; the pivotal
role of deterministic chaos theory in at least some cognitive
processes. These matters arise in the long course of the author's
scientific and legal activities involving the complex debate over
the health risks of man-made environmental electromagnetic fields.
The book offers far more than a solution to the contentious health
issue. The story provides a portal into how science actually works,
which you will see differs dramatically from the romantic notion of
an objective search for truth. You will understand that science is
a human enterprise, all too human, inescapably enmeshed in
uncertainty. This realization has the potential to change your life
because it will likely affect whom you choose to believe, and with
what degree of confidence.
