A broad region of the electromagnetic spectrum long assumed to have no influence on living systems under natural conditions has been critically re-examinjld over the past decade. This spectral region extends from the superhigh radio frequencies, through de­ creasing frequencies, to and including essentially static electric and magnetic fields. The author of this monograph, A. S. Presman, has reviewed not only the extensive Russian literatur!;"l, but also al­ most equally comprehensively the non-Russian literature, dealing with biological influences of these fields. Treated also is literature shedding some light on possible theoretical foundations for these phenomena. A substantial, rapidly increaSing number of studies in many laboratories and countries has now clearly established bio­ logical influences which are independent of the theoretically pre­ dictable, simple thermal effects. Indeed many of the effects are produced by field strengths very close to those within the natural environment. The author has, even more importantly, set forth a novel, imaginative general hypothesis in which it is postulated that such electromagnetic fields normally serve as conveyors of information from the environment to the organism, within the organism, and among organisms. He postulates that in the course of evolution or­ ganisms have come to employ these fields in conjunction with the well-known sensory, nervous, and endocrine systems in effecting coordination and integration.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Meaty Survey and Suggestions for Frurther Research
    Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2013
    This book is an excellent monograph that discusses the role of the electromagnetic fields and waves in the phenomena of Life. The first chapter is a summary of the relevant results from electromagnetic theory pertaining to the interaction of fields and waves with material media. Only the results are quoted and the reader is referred to specialized texts such as Landau & Lifshitz "Electrodynamics of Continuous Media".

    In the second part of this book, by far the largest, the author surveys and summarizes almost 50 years of experimental research - until 1967 - on the electromagnetic phenomena and Life. These experiments cover the interactions of static and dynamic fields with biological macro-molecules, unicellular organisms, plants, animals, humans as well as the intrinsic electromagnetic phenomena to the living systems (such as skin surface electric fields).

    After reading this section, I was left with no doubt as to the reality of the influence of external electromagnetic fields and waves on biological systems.

    The third part of this book is a discussion of potentially productive areas for further research in the light of the common results of these experiments. Here the author suggests a number of broad areas of research together with a bit of speculation about what could be explained by the results of those future researches. In effect, he is recommending a research program in this part of the book.

    The book may be read profitably by anyone with the following background:

    1- Advanced High-School Level Biology
    2- Electromagnetic Theory at the level of a 3rd year student of Physics or Electrical Engineering
    3- Modern Physics at the level of a 2nd year student of Physics or Electrical Engineering

    One feature of this book is 47 pages of references to original scientific literature - many of them unfortunately in Russian.

    I agree with the first reviewer and I think this book is worth reading from cover to cover.

    Highly recommended as great scientific monograph.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Unique book
    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2001
    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.
