I am very pleased that my book The Geomagnetic Field and Life is being published in English in the United States. Thanks to the initiative of Plenum Press, a publishing hause that is widely known in all countries, I have a great new opportunity to make direct contact with friends throughout the world. My book on the geomagnetic field can be regarded as an abstraction, whose purpose is to provide a better picture and understanding of the world araund us, its main driving forces, and factors, to help us to know ourselves, and to proceed further. The essence of the abstraction is that in treating the problern I have deliberately ignored the diverse effects of various extemal factors on living organisms and have confined myself to an analysis of the effect of the GMF. This approach allows me to go one step further-to draw various conclusions and propose theories that rnight bring us closer to a proper understanding of the true nature of the phenomena. Philosophers have long been aware that by such abstract thinking we can deterrnine the nature of phenomena more reliably, completely, and comprehensively, penetrate to the very core of the observed effects, and perceive the depth of their interrelations.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Boring but Meaty
    Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016
    This book, in an analogous manner to that of Pressman's book, "Electromagnetic Fields and Life", is a summary and compendium of experimental research on the topic at the time of the publication.

    And like Pressman's text, it is a boring, but meaty review & summary of experimental results. Read it for the coverage of these subtle phenomena.

    No quantitative theory of phenomena is described in this book but the breath of coverage is amazing; from heart attacks to evolutionary biology.

    The book discusses a lot of speculative approaches, such as a biological form of Josephson Effect, in order to account for the sensitivity of organisms to small changes in the geomagnetic field. I think such speculations are fine as one gropes for a quantitative theory.
