Cellular Phones, Public Fears, and a Culture of Precaution by Adam Burgess Publisher: Cambridge University Press Publication Date: Monday, August 18, 2003 Number of Pages: 312 ISBN: 0521520827

Book Summary: Adam Burgess' study is the first account of the health panic surrounding cellular phones that developed in the mid 1990s. Explaining that the related health anxieties had little substantial basis, Burgess traces the origins of the panic and how and why it grew so significantly in some societies, but not in others. The book also outlines a history and sociology of the cell phone, and compares popular reactions to other technologies, such as x-rays and radar.
