Going Somewhere: Truth About a Life in Science

Going Somewhere is a dynamic autobiographical narrative about Andrew Marino's long career in science and his legal activities. He was deeply involved in the complex debate over the health risks of man-made environmental electromagnetic fields, and his book offers far more than a solution to this contentious health issue.

With a depth and drama that arise from personal involvement, this book explores an exceptionally wide range of science-related matters:

• the relationship between electrical energy and life
• the influence of corporate and military power on science
• the role of self-interest on the part of federal and state agencies that deal with human health, especially the NIH and the FDA
• the importance of cross-examining scientific experts in legal hearings
• the erroneous view of nature that results when the perspective of physics is extended into biology
• the pivotal role of deterministic chaos theory in at least some cognitive processes

This story provides a portal into how science actually works, which you will see differs dramatically from the romantic notion of an objective search for truth. You will understand that science is a human enterprise, all too human, inescapably enmeshed in uncertainty. This realisation has the potential to change your life because it will likely affect whom you choose to believe, and with what degree of confidence.
