Tuning in to Nature: Infrared Radiation and the Insect Communication System
This 25th anniversary edition, updated by the author, reveals the miraculous communication systems present in nature. Learn how plants and insects communicate through emissions in the infrared frequency range and why poisonous pesticides do not solve the real problems facing agriculture. In this breakthrough book Phil Callahan uncovers why certain insects are attracted only to certain plants, the role of pheromones work in nature, and how plants under stress literally signal insects to come devour them. Long out of print . . . classic Callahan!

This book stretched my mind. I am continually amazed that my interest in health and nature has required that I learn so much about electronics!
It was not an easy read, but the ideas in it are worth pondering. It is impressive, or disappointing, that this information is still current after 25 years. So it goes with innovative ideas. Or naturalistic ones that do not endorse the present mindset of controlling nature.
One of the most important things in doing research is to ask the right question. This author is a master at asking questions outside of his "area of expertise." Which enlarges his area of expertise considerably. And it will yours to read this book.

This book is off the hook amazing filled with knowledge about frequencies and vibes. The part where he talks about technology stemming from nature is absolutely mind blowing!!!!! Very interesting viewpoints and research done on frequencies of bugs! By the way, ACRES USA PUBLISHING has the BEST BOOKS ON GARDENING.

The best chapter so far has been a little biography on Nikola Tesla;I learned that he actually invented the AC generator and our entire electrical power system, not Edison. It is a little over my head but I'll keep hanging in there for the juicy parts that my brain can fathom.
