Arthur Firstenberg is a scientist and journalist who is at the forefront of a global movement to tear down the taboo surrounding the interaction of electricity with living organisms. After graduating from Cornell University with a degree in mathematics, he attended the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine from 1978 to 1982. Injury by X-ray overdose cut short his medical career. For the past thirty-seven years he has been a researcher, consultant, and lecturer on the health and environmental effects of electromagnetic radiation, as well as a practitioner of healing arts.
This remarkably well-documented and -referenced book traces the deployment of electricity in our civilization, and its interaction with living organisms, from its initial discovery in the 1740s all the way to our time, and even projected into the future. The Invisible Rainbow refers to the entire electromagnetic spectrum comprising the colors of the rainbow, including the invisible radio frequencies and the fields generated around conducting wires.
