Abstract
It is an honor and a privilege to participate in this celebration of the 80th birthday of an eminently distinguished scientist. Fröhlich’s contributions are many. His outstanding contributions to the theory of dielectrics and his important models that concern the effects of nonionizing electromagnetic fields on living matter have been of particular interest to me, as they relate to my research interests. Dielectric properties and field interactions are related, since interactions often are governed by properties. I concentrate on this point since the importance of dielectric work as it relates to interactions is not generally recognized.
