The Invisible Rainbow

"Few individuals today are able to grasp the entirety of a scientific subject and present it in a highly engaging manner, in plain English, without losing any of the details. In The Invisible Rainbow, Firstenberg has done just that with one of the most pressing but neglected problems of our technological age. This book, which as a medical doctor I found hard to put down, explores the relationship between electricity and life from beginning to end: from the early eighteenth century to today, and from the point of view of the physician, the physicist, and the average person in the street. Firstenberg makes a compelling case that the major diseases of civilization-heart disease, diabetes, and cancer-are in large part related to the pollution of our world by electricity."-Bradley Johnson, MD, Amen Clinic, San Francisco

"The Invisible Rainbow is wonderful. Firstenberg has done his research thoroughly. His book is easily readable and provocative while being entertaining. A remarkable contribution."-David O. Carpenter, MD, director, Institute for Health and the Environment, School of Public Health, State University of New York at Albany

"I found it to be a mystery unfolding and could not put it down. It shines a new light on diseases that come from electrical development, and addresses current environmental crises that only a few yet realize are the consequence of electrosmog. This book is very, very important."-Sandy Ross, PhD, president, Health and Habitat, Inc.

"I was stunned by this book. It is an extremely valuable document about an increasingly widespread environmental health risk to which we are all exposed. I am overwhelmed with admiration for what Firstenberg has accomplished."-William E. Morton, MD, DrPH, professor emeritus, Oregon Health Sciences University

"Firstenberg is a pioneer in the sense that Rachel Carson was a pioneer."-Chellis Glendinning, PhD, author of When Technology Wounds
