📝 About The Book

Basic Introduction to Bioelectromagnetics (2nd Edition) by Cynthia Furse is a user-friendly and illustrative resource designed to bridge the knowledge gap between life sciences and electromagnetics. This revised edition is crafted to support interdisciplinary research, offering life scientists and medical technologists a solid conceptual understanding of electromagnetic (EM) fields—without the burden of complex mathematics.

Unlike traditional EM textbooks that demand a background in vector calculus and differential equations, this book relies on basic algebra, making it highly accessible to readers from a non-engineering background. The content spans the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from direct current (DC) to optical frequencies, and relates key theoretical concepts to over 40 real-world medical applications.

Highlights of this edition include:

• Over 200 diagrams and illustrations for easy visualization

• Discussions on neural stimulation, hyperthermia, MRI, ultrasound, cardiac pacing, and more

• Simplified, qualitative explanations of EM principles

• Practical rules of thumb for interpreting real-life scenarios

• An emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration between life scientists, physicists, and engineers

Whether you're involved in medical diagnostics, bioengineering, or biomedical research, Basic Introduction to Bioelectromagnetics serves as an invaluable guide to understanding the EM environment in which biological systems operate. It’s an ideal foundation for students, researchers, and professionals seeking a non-mathematical yet comprehensive overview of bioelectromagnetic principles.
