Requests:  0 Summary:  "The story of the invention and use of electricity has often been told before, but never from an enviromnental point of view. The assumption of safety, and the conviction that electricity has nothing to do with life, are by now so entrenched in the human psyche that new research, and testimony by those who are being injured, are not enough to change the course that society has set. Two increasingly isolated worlds--that inhabited by the majority, who embrace new electrical technology without question, and that inhabited by a growing minority, who are fighting for survival in an electrically polluted environment--no longer even speak the same language. Arthur Firstenberg bridges the two worlds. In a story that is rigorously scientific yet easy to read, he provides a surprising answer to the question, 'How can electricity be suddenly harmful today when it was safe for centuries?'"   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.01442 Fi Lost 12/15/2023 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 612.01442 Fi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 612.01442 Fi Checked out 06/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList
