✦ Synopsis

This book is a narrative of scientific detection that answers troubling questions, while also telling a disturbing tale of governmental neglect, corporate manipulation, and personal tenacity and courage. It is essential reading if you are among the millions of Americans who hold a cellular telephone against your head everyday, if you are beguiled by the newest wireless Internet gadgets, or if you just want to know whether government is truly looking after the public's health." "The authors also provide the most thorough presentation offered anywhere of preventive safeguards consumers can adopt right now. Their fascinating and troubling examination of the collision between science and politics, presented in an ingenious format that directs readers to alternately "Follow the Science" and "Follow the Politics," is an accessible and enlightening primer for which concerned members of the public will be deeply grateful and which policymakers will ignore at all our peril.
