The Invisible Rainbow: A History of Electricity and Life
Arthur Firstenberg
<p>Electricity has shaped the modern world. But how has it affected our health and environment?</p> <p>Over the last 220 years, society has evolved a universal belief that electricity is ‘safe’ for humanity and the planet. Scientist and journalist Arthur Firstenberg disrupts this conviction by telling the story of electricity in a way it has never been told before - from an environmental point of view - by detailing the effects that this fundamental societal building block has had on our health and our planet.</p> <p>In <em>The Invisible Rainbow</em>, Firstenberg traces the history of electricity from the early eighteenth century to the present, making a compelling case that many environmental problems, as well as the major diseases of industrialised civilisation - heart disease, diabetes, and cancer - are related to electrical pollution.</p>
