Book Description

Entering its third edition, the bestselling Handbook of Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields is a definitive reference for researching bioeffects of static, low-, and high-frequency fields. It presents a well-rounded perspective on the biological effects of electromagnetic (EM) fields, authored by active contributors to the field with a wide variety of interests and backgrounds, approaches, and interpretations. The Handbook incorporates up-to-date data, results, and discussions-many based on studies performed since the 1995 publication of the previous edition-into two cohesive volumes. The first focuses on bioengineering and biophysical aspects, including molecular-level mechanisms. It contains new material describing the physics, engineering, and chemistry aspects of electromagnetic fields to explain their interactions with biological systems. The second concentrates on biological and medical aspects, including physiological effects, medical applications, and exposure standards. It examines some of the latest applications EM fields, particularly for medical treatment and diagnostics. Improved cross-referencing across both volumes facilitates the association of interrelated concepts. The Handbook of Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields, Third Edition forms a comprehensive, yet accessible source leading to a greater knowledge of electromagnetic hazards, potential applications of EM fields, and a better understanding of biological processes.

5 out of 5 stars Updated and Expanded Third Edition.......2007-01-07

While the human body (and of course animal bodies) are biological in nature, they have a strong electrical contant in the way that nerves pass messages and the way that the brain thinks. It is only lately, however, that the interaction between electromagnetic fields and the body's own electromagnetic activities have begun to be studied from a rigorous standpoint.

Now in its third edition, this two volume set reflects the latest research in the field. It is an exhaustive look into the field with articles from a wide collection of researchers currently working in the field. Virtually all of the articles reflect research that has been done in the years since the last edition was published in 1995.

While this includes such subjects as the use of cell phones and living under high voltage transmission lines, it also includes the use of EM fields in medical treatments, exposure limits, physiological effects and more. This book continues to be the definitive book on the subject.

5 out of 5 stars Unique book.......2001-12-29

This is not one more book, but the foundation of a theory not yet understood and much more not yet accepted. It opens new frontiers in biology and life sciences. The role of electromagnetism is vital to the concept of life. Each cell should not be considered and studied as one unit, but as part of one organism (my though is that maybe the one organism should be considered as part of one ecosystem). If you are trying to answer how external electromagnetic fields can affect a living organism, then you will find unique the idea that field intensity is not the criterion. Weak fields can be more important than strong fields.
Anyway, this book is classical and rare. It revolutionizes life sciences, enters unexplored regions. If you are a true scientist take it, if you can find it.

                  2 out of 5 stars There are much better guides on Mexico - Skip this one........2006-02-21

                  In the world of travel guides there are guides for travelers with money and guides for travelers on a budget. Let's Go, Rough Guide and Lonely Planet are in the latter group, while Fodor's and Frommer's are guides that target those with money; clearly Frommer's is the best.

                  On the positive side, what Fodor's does well in all of their guides is recommend the best restaurants and hotels. Sadly, this is the only aspect of Fodor's that is commendable.

                  Reprehensible is the complete absence of history, politics, environment, culture and customs of Mexico! This may be the first major travel guide that says nothing, zero, zilch about the country that the guide covers. Go figure. A serious shortcoming.

                  The maps are bland and not reliable for locating eateries or accommodations. Fodor's only includes restaurant and accommodations maps for a just few select cities - for the rest of cities you're on your own. Not good.

                  The cumbersome system of dollar signs to represent prices, i.e. three dollar signs -$$$- equal this much, two - $$ - equal this much, which causes you to flip back and forth trying to remember what $$$ meant. Frommer's, on the other hand, just tells you the cost in dollars. Your room will be $120-$175. Yea! for Frommer's.

                  Finally, the writing of the guide is blase and hackneyed. "The island of Cozumel is a kinder, gentler version of Cancun" (a kinder island?) and "The average Mexican eats nearly a pound of tortillas a day" (compared to a pound of french fries in the US?). This unimaginative writing continues on to the hotel and restaurant descriptions, for example, one hotel had, "Rooms aren't very inspired" (yes, I want an inspired room!). One restaurant was recommended for its "Home-cooked Mexican food... tacos and quesadillas and you can also get hamburgers," (great, a home cooked Mexican hamburger). A good travel guide should be enticing and engaging in its writing.

                  Save your $21.95. There are much better guides on Mexico. Try Frommer's, or if you are on a tight budget get "Let's Go - Mexico" or "Rough Guide". 2 stars.

                  5 out of 5 stars Very helpful.......2006-11-05

                  The book does a nice job with breaking out the various destinations and gives a lot of helpful hints. The book also has a lot of space on what not to eat, how to drive, how to get around and other helpful tips. There is so much information to cover, the book could stand to be a little longer.

                  4 out of 5 stars OK.......2006-03-20

                  It has a lot about the big places, but nothing about those little places that you just have to find yourself.

                  5 out of 5 stars The most up to date guide available!.......2005-10-12

                  After spending ten days in the Yucatan I found this guide to be the most helpful of the three guides I took with me. This is due to the fact that this is a very new publication (fresh off the press!). Lots of good info on what to do and see and where to eat. Made my trip even more memorable then it would have been anyway. The Yucatan is a great vacation adventure, which I highly recommend! I also check out "A Tourist in the Yucatan" great thriller that has become an underground Hit!

                    2 out of 5 stars Historical Errors in the Illustrations.......2006-06-05

                    A friend who was born in the People's Republic of China, with a degree in Chinese Art history questions the historical authenticity of many illustrations in this book. In many scenic compositions, the artist has put together people wearing costumes, hair styles, and various embellishments that come from time periods that are too far apart with very distinguishable differences in styles. Discrepancies include furniture design that could not have existed at the time period represented by the costume of the person sitting on it. Some details, i.e. the way that writing implements are held, are a dead giveaway of the lack of Chinese Art history consultations for this book. So now we must ask, "How reliable are the visual information in the other books in this series?" Visuals can have a very powerful impact upon readers, thus, editors must do a better job of safeguarding what "reality" is presented to students in their "history" books. Without feedback from my Chinese friend, I would have just marvelled at the beautiful pictures in this book, and believed everything I saw.

                    5 out of 5 stars I was surprised!.......2005-12-12

                    I'm in the eighth grade at a K-8 private school, so you can imagine the difficulty I might have trying to do research for a college-level research paper in our small library. However, I stumbled upon this book and found a lot of much-needed information on my narrow topic (Clothing in Ancient China). Trust me, the sources on this topic are much more limited than you might think. Thank you!

                    2 out of 5 stars written like a boring text book.......2001-11-25

                    My daughter will be eight next month and she was bored with this book. It has some interesting facts, but it did not keep her interest at all.

                    5 out of 5 stars Love it!.......2000-06-21

                    As a teacher, I found this book not only inspiring but educational too. Children will learn about the history of China while listening to a realistic story of ancient China. This is a must for educators, students, and parents!

                    Book Description

                    Whether a marketing campaign or a museum exhibit, a video game or a complex control system, the design we see is the culmination of many concepts and practices brought together from a variety of disciplines. Because no one can be an expert on everything, designers have always had to scramble to find the information and know-how required to make a design work—until now.

                    Universal Principles of Design is the first cross-disciplinary reference of design. Richly illustrated and easy to navigate, this book pairs clear explanations of the design concepts featured with visual examples of those concepts applied in practice. From the 80/20 rule to chunking, from baby-face bias to Ockham's razor, and from self-similarity to storytelling, 100 design concepts are defined and illustrated for readers to expand their knowledge.

                    This landmark reference will become the standard for designers, engineers, architects, and students who seek to broaden and improve their design expertise.

                    This reminded me of an old textbook, having very few visual examples and loads of text. That said I have found it a good read with more information than other similar design books. It is a good book to grasp the whole spread of design.

                    5 out of 5 stars Key Priciples for Every Designer.......2007-09-11

                    I loved this book for its illustrations, organization & its selection of principles. It covers pivotal ideas from visual design, interaction design, industrial engineering, an communications design & cross-references each principle to related principles & sources for further exploration. It's hard to image a professional in any design field that would appreciate this uniquely valuable & enjoyable reference.

                    This book has great visual examples of the concepts in design. Designers, teachers and commercial art directors should have it on a shelf near by.

                    3 out of 5 stars No big secrets in this book.......2007-07-22

                    This book does have some useful and interesting principals of design. However most any person who is thoughtful and careful in designing a human interface will figure these things out without this book. In fact a fair percentage of the principals discussed are painfully obvious to anyone.

                    5 out of 5 stars One of the Best Books in my Library.......2007-07-19

                    This is an invaluable resource for any designer. Well-organized and easy to read, with a multitude of cross-references. One of the best values I've come across in recent years.

                    Forty of the 120 pages are Checklist and Graphic Guidelines. It is nice to have them in one place; they are detailed, incorporating issues such as the environment. Accept for grab bars, etc. there is not much that I would consider of "modest or no additional cost," as the book jacket purports. Focus is on open floor designs, but also has tighter schemes. Great photos are matched with good information, that I haven't found elsewhere.

                    This is an extremely fun and informative book. It is easily understood, and great for an Art teacher, as well as teachers of other subjects who wish to incorporate more art into their classrooms. It would also be helpful to parents or homeschooling families.

                    5 out of 5 stars Getting "Real" With Art and Kids.......2000-10-17

                    For those working in the schools and who value the joyful impact of art with children, this book has it all! It is a power-packed manual for professional teachers, aides and anyone needing more guidance to open the creative doors for themsleves and children. You will find the source's guides in the back of the book worth the price alone. The clarity in the text is especially to be appreciated; no "gobbeldy-gook and no nonsense" here! The presentation of ways to incorporate art into total curriculum is one to open our eyes and to value its potential for carrying any other subject matter. Full of ideas for projects with morsels of philosophy about the arts tucked in, it allows teachers to open their own minds and rid themselves of their own "art blocks." I would say no teacher should be without this book. Good for you Marlene Gharbo Linderman! At last a book for us all who love and cherish art in schools.
