A book review has appeared an important and timely book on a topic which is subject to misinformation:
Are Electromagnetic Fields Making Me Ill? How Electricity and Magnetism Affect our Health, by Bradley J. Roth
reviewed by Robert G. Olsen in the most recent issue of the American Journal of Physics. https://aapt.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1119/5.0107970
As the reviewer says:
“While the focus is on the specific controversies listed in the table of contents, an even more valuable contribution of the book is the description of Roth’s methodology. In describing his approach to evaluating the science (or lack thereof) behind each claim, you will learn some of the thought processes needed to evaluate any new technology. Anyone who adopts these approaches will become a better investigator of new claims”
I have been following book-reviews of American Journal of Physics
There are some really good recommendations and assessments.
