Summary:
"'Zapped' tells the story of all the light we cannot see, tracing microwaves, X-rays, gamma rays, radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, and other forms of radiation from their historic, world-altering discoveries in the nineteenth century to their central role in modern life. Along the way, Berman sets the record straight on the health costs (and benefits) of radiation and explores the consequences of our newest technologies"--Front flap of dust jacket.
