As we  enter the new millennium, it is worthwhile to review how our ancestors  perceived the biologic effects of sunlight, and how science and  medicine have advanced our knowledge about the biologic effects of  light. \u003cbr\u003e  At the turn of the century, a multitude of investigators explored the  use of sunlight and artificial radiation for treating a multitude of  diseases. These explorations gave rise to photodynamic therapy,  phototherapy, and chemophototherapy. However, enthusiasm for using  sunlight and artificial radiation to treat disease was dampened with  the birth of pharmacology. \u003cbr\u003e  It was the goal of the Fifth International Arnold Rikli Symposium on  the Biologic Effects of Light, held in Basel, Switzerland, on November  1-3, 1998, to review the history of phototherapy and have some  of the world's leading experts on the biologic effects of light  provide new perspectives on the positive and negative effects of  light. The general topics included a broad range of biologic effects  of sunlight, artificial ultraviolet radiation and electromagnetic  radiation. Special sessions on radiation and vitamin D and bone  health, photoimmunology, biopositive effects of UV radiation, effects  of electromagnetic currents and fields, and ocular and non-ocular  regulation of circadian rhythms and melatonin, should be of particular  interest to readers of \u003cem\u003eBiologic Effects of Light\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792385509\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5051-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 491\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312369094796,"sku":"9780792385509","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792385509.jpg?v=1771524798","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792385509","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
