Editorial Reviews
Review
For the readers coming on this scientific niche for the first time, the stories are fresh and compelling, and like me they will be unable to stop reading. The book follows the genre established by Rachel Carson and others, and is more than a worthy successor, written in an attractive style and reflecting a clear knowledge of the classics whose early paradigms tell us there is nothing new in human society. (I particularly loved Marino's visit to Hades to question some of the departed biophysics fraternity.) --Roger Coghill, Biologist
In this thought-provoking book, Marino recounts his extraordinary journey through the realm of health risks associated with electromagnetic fields (EMFs), his quest for knowledge and truth, and his battle for justice. It is a thoughtful, fascinating book which contains the wisdom of an accomplished investigator, a true Doctor of Philosophy who has been able to stand back, to question the established order, and to be tenacious in his quest. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the effects of electromagnetic fields on living beings, especially to the truth-seekers, to those interested in the functioning of modern science, in environmental science and in its legal aspects. --Stephane Egot-Lemaire, Bioengineer
This dramatic story of science for sale is told unassumingly, from an intimate, personal viewpoint, replete with courtroom cross-examinations, mordant observations about individuals, and dream fantasies. Marino is engaged in a personal quest, and he reveals his thoughts in a way few scientists have dared. He is indeed a seeker of the truth, about electromagnetic fields but also about his own life. His story is both disturbing and uplifting. --Brian Martin, Professor of Social Sciences

"But-for" the cellphone, I would not have this tumor.
Bravo! Andrew has it right! I look forward to his next book!

I understand what is happening now. You have to read the studies and understand the methods inside out and even then you must be careful.
These people are manipulative and unjust. It is sad. Science is not what I thought it was.
It may have been nearly 40 years past, but Dr. Becker was so inspirational to his former students. My own research on the piezoelectric effects of the bone tissue in relation to Wolff's Law led me to Dr. Becker's work. His findings about the Immortal Hydra and its incredible regenerative ability sort of predicted the findings in recent decades about the immortal ability of the hydra. Marino was still a graduate student back then and this book shows just how influential one great man can be on others.
Although he focuses on the issue of EMFs, one can draw similar conclusions as to how the food and drug industries work.
In all, this is an eye opening story of the world that we live in. We need to become aware of how dangerous it is to let industries determine safety standards using science as their personal puppet tool. This world certainly need more Marinos!!!!!!
