Críticas

"This book will be a must-read for anyone who cares about our children's brains."
-David Servan-Schreiber, M.D., Ph.D., author of "Anticancer"

"Davis makes a strong case in her book that we've underplayed the possible threat from cell phones for too long...Time and again, she shows the way that industry has been able to twist science just enough to stave off the possibility of any regulation."
-"Time" Magazine
""Disconnect" will surprise many and anger some. It tells all too human stories behind the science and engineering of cell phones and raises important unresolved questions about this universal technology."
-Frank A. Barnes, Professor, University of Colorado at Boulder; Member of the National Academy of Engineering
"A critically important book that is a must-read for parents and policy makers. A surprising, well-documented, and compelling call for action."
-Phil Lee, M.D., former United States assistant secretary for health; Chancellor Emeritus, University of California, San Francisco
"An amazing and important book that must be read to be believed. Are these devices safe for huma

Reseña del editor

"As [Disconnect] shows, cell phones may actually be doing damage to far more than our attention spans-and could, in fact, be killing us." -Salon.com.

Since the invention of radar, cell phone radiation was assumed to be harmless because it wasn't like X-rays. But a sea change is now occurring in the way scientists think about it. The latest research ties this kind of radiation to lowered sperm counts, an increased risk of Alzheimer's, and even cancer. In Disconnect, National Book Award finalist Devra Davis tells the story of the dangers that the cell phone industry is knowingly exposing us-and our children-to in the pursuit of profit. More than five billion cell phones are currently in use, and that number increases every day. Synthesizing the findings and cautionary advice of leading experts in bioelectricalmagnetics and neuroscience, Davis explains simple safety measures that no one can afford to ignore.
