The Cancer Prevention Diet by Michio Kushi

This book gives a step-by-step presentation of a generalized transmission line method to study the far-zone radiation of antennas under a multilayer structure. Normally, a radiation problem requires a full wave analysis which may be time consuming. The beauty of the generalized transmission line method is that it transforms the radiation problem for a specific type of structure, say the multilayer structure excited by an antenna, into a circuit problem that can be efficiently analyzed. Using the Reciprocity Theorem and far-field approximation, the method computes the far-zone radiation due to a Hertzian dipole within a multilayer structure by solving an equivalent transmission line circuit. Since an antenna can be modeled as a set of Hertzian dipoles, the method could be used to predict the far-zone radiation of an antenna under a multilayer structure. The analytical expression for the far-zone field is derived for a structure with or without a polarizer. The procedure of obtaining the Hertzian dipole model that is required by the generalized transmission line method is also described. Several examples are given to demonstrate the capabilities, accuracy, and efficiency of this method.

MICHIO KUSHI came to the United States shortly after World War II upon completing studies at Tokyo University. Since then he has lectured on macrobiotics, the meeting of East and West, traditional Oriental medicine, philosophy, and culture, and the realization of world peace and planetary harmony.
Mr. Kushi is the founder and president of the East West Foundation, Kushi Institute, Kushi Foundation, and Macrobiotics International. With his wife, Aveline, and several of his five children and five grandchildren, he resides in Brookline and Becket, Massachusetts.

ALEX JACK has written several books with Michio and Aveline Kushi including The Cancer-Prevention Diet, Diet for a Strong Heart, Aveline Kushi's Complete Guide to Macrobiotic Cooking for Health, Harmony, and Peace, Macrobiotic Diet, and One Peaceful World. A former editor-in-chief of East West
Journal, he travels and teaches in the United States and abroad.
