Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette: A Historical and Scientific Perspective
$300.00 Add to cartRobert C. Kane
New York: Vantage Press, 2001.
A denouncing of mobile phones and the telecommunications industry by a former engineer. “They are everywhere, but should they be? While most consumers assume that cellular phones have been thoroughly tested and proven safe, that is not the case. You pick up the phone, once, twice, ten times a day- or only a few times a month. But, each and every time, you’re gambling that ‘this time’ won’t be the occasion when the radiation causes irreparable damage to your brain.” (from cover) -

“In A Secret Australia, nineteen prominent Australians discuss what Australia has learnt about itself from the WikiLeaks revelations – revelations about a secret Australia of hidden rules and loyalty to hidden agendas. However Australians may perceive their nation’s place in the world – as battling sports stars, dependable ally or good international citizen – WikiLeaks has shown us a startlingly different story. Among the contributors are former senator Scott Ludlam, former defence secretary Paul Barratt, lawyers Julian Burnside and Jennifer Robinson, academics Richard Tanter, Benedetta Brevini, John Keane, Suelette Dreyfus, Gerard Goggin and Clinton Fernandes, as well as journalists Andrew Fowler, Quentin Dempster and Helen Razer.” (publisher’s blurb) Foreword by Phillip Adams
