Field Guide to the Invisible

Much of everyday experience takes place beyond the range of our senses. Today, so much seems beyond our personal control. This is a layperson's guide -- a thought-provoking cat. -- of life's ingred. that are literally out of sight & therefore often out of mind. In our age of chronic low-dose exposure to sundry radiations, of infections from exotic microbes, of habitats where the sources of stress are amorphous, of a biosphere so radically changed by man that the natural protections it once provided are no longer assured, it is still the invisible that worries us most. This guide offers a treasure trove of med. facts, & it maps points in a parallel world that we inhabit with the one before our very eyes. Illus.Biddle, Wayne is the author of 'Field Guide to the Invisible', published 2002 under ISBN 9780756755423 and ISBN 0756755425.
