For most of us, life is spent in one vast electromagnetic field. In the office we sit in front of computer terminals, at home, in front of the television. We cook our meals in microwave ovens, trim our hedges with electric shears, illuminate our houses, workplaces, and streets with incandescent and fluorescent lighting. And until only recently, the potential hazards imposed by life in the shadows of high-voltage power lines have hardly been considered. First published in 1973, Power Over People was the first book to address the frightening potential side effects of our dependence on electrical energy. Now brought up to date with a new introduction, and including an epilogue that offers the most current studies and findings available today, this classic book is more timely than ever. Louise Young here lays bare the short-sighted, materialistic policies of the electric power indus

"A careful, well-argued case for considering alternative means for generating and transmitting electrical power."--Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science
"An intelligent combination of politics and economics that also manages to portray the human beings involved as more than one-dimensional."--The Washington Monthly

This approach helps take independent practitioners beyond their usual outpatient psychotherapy and assessment practices. As to the previous reviewer's "re-hash" comment, those of us who enjoy Gazzaniga's clear style and full content don't appreciate the cursory easy-chair review of another of his important works. I've used big time and expensive IDEs in my time, Together Control Center to name just one, and I was excited to finally get Eclipse and begin learning it. This book is not about 3.0. The story was not well written in my opinion and I really do not recommend this book.. Found out the hard way. Given as a gift and my niece loved it.. Carolyn Holman's artsy flower arrangements are beautiful. I loved the fact that by the end of the story he had realized and celebrated that fact that she was perfect. We usually work on this together, and, of course, I love that.. Our kids are 10 & 8
