An Electronic Silent Spring cover

Our earth has natural electromagnetic energy, and over millions of years we have evolved to live in harmony with it.

In our modern world, however, human-made electromagnetic fields are increasingly common -- wifi and mobile phone networks, for example. Katie Singer argues that these fields are now so prevalent that they are threatening the health of all aspects of our world -- people, plants, bees and birds -- and in particular our memory, DNA, behaviour, attention spans, sleep patterns and susceptibility to disease.

This unique book examines the effects of electrification and presents solutions for communities and individuals who welcome the benefits of our digital world, but want to limit their exposure to electromagnetic radiation.

'An important and thoughtful book for every person concerned about the environment and human health.'
-- Kenny Ausubel, CEO, Bioneers

'Katie Singer's findings deserve thoughtful analysis and action by concerned citizens and elected officials, and must not be swept under the rug.'
-- Whitney North Seymour, Jr, former New York State Senator, Co-founder, Natural Resources Defense Council

'A must-read for those of us rushing heedlessly into the wireless age.'
-- Sally Fallon Morell, President, Weston A. Price Foundation and author of Nourishing Traditions

'Because these issues matter to every parent, teacher and technology user, everyone needs to read this book.'
-- Cygnus Books
