Lin, Springer, ISBN 0-387-23997-9Advances in Electromagnetic Fields in LivingSystems, published by Springer since 1994, presents stateof-the-artdiscussions in electromagnetism that influencethe activities of living organisms. This focus affirmsSpringer’s commitment to publish important reviews to addto the scientific and professional literature-significantresearch that is larger in scope than journal articles.Advances in Electromagnetic Fields in LivingSystems, Volume 4 begins with fetal magnetocardiography(fMCG), a noninvasive method of detecting components ofthe magnetic field produced by the electrical activity of thefetal heart. fMCG is experiencing steady growth, and isexpected to gain influence in diagnosing certain congenitalfetal heart defects while at the same time providing optimalcare for patients. fMCG provides a distinct signal, free ofmaternal cardiac interference, which can be detectedthroughout the last half of pregnancy.Other Key Topics are: Noninvasive biomedicalapplication of non-ionizing electromagnetic energy,Microwave thermoelastic imaging uses microwave-pulseinducedthermoelastic pressure waves to form planar ortomografic images, Mechanisms of light-tissue interactionin the near infrared region and different types of instrumentsused for diffuse optical imaging, Advances in reliable laserdiodes and optical telemetry, ELF magnetic-field exposureand the pain system and Cyclotron resonance in enhancingthe sensitivity of biological systems to magnetic fields.Advances in Electromagnetic Fields in Living Systemswill be essential reading for all academics, bench scientists,and industry professionals wishing to take advantage of thelatest and greatest in this continuously emerging field.About the EditorDr. James C. Lin is Professor of Electrical Engineering,Professor of Bioengineering, and Professor of Physiologyand Biophysics at the University of Illinois, Chicago.Among other honors, Dr. Lin is a Fellow of IEEE, a Fellowof A.A.A.S, a Founding Fellow of AIMBE, and a recipientof the d’Arsonval Medal from the BioelectromagneticsSociety.TheRadio Science Bulletin No 313 (June, 2005) 87
