The Powerwatch Handbook €16.00
Simple ways to make you and your family safer
Jean Philips, Alasdair Philips
Our everyday lifestyle usually includes a growing amount of electrical equipment, electronic gadgetry, and appliances for the modern leisure age. For many people this does not seem to result in a better quality of living, life is still busy and stressed and health can suffer.

Companies advertise new wireless computers, films on mobile phones, cars with every electronic extra, communication on the move, labour saving and entertainment devices of all kinds. At the same time the media are full of stories in which people blame these very aids to modern living for a variety of health problems, even cancer.

The scientists seem to argue amongst themselves about whether there is a link between all the 'electrosmog' and our lack of wellbeing. Government guidelines can be very vague for the individual looking for practical information. Meanwhile, what can the everyday person, without the necessary scientific knowledge to understand and make sense of the debate do, to feel they are taking care of themselves and their family?

This book helps you do just that. Following the simple 'dos and don'ts' you are able to reduce this pollutant in your environment.

As Dr Ian Gibson, MP, says in the foreword to the book, 'As the scientists, politicians, public health officials and others attempt to decipher the puzzle, it is imperative for us to become more active, to take a bit more responsibility for our own health and that of our families. It is a refreshing, jargon-free handbook that aids understanding and gives helpful, pragmatic tips.'
