This brilliant book distills wide-ranging observations of lunar influences on the earth’s bio­sphere from plants to humans. Following an introduction to the astronomy of the moon rhythms is a study of how the tides and other intricate ocean movements are connected with the life processes of numerous organisms. Richly detailed and clearly written for the general reader, chapters lead up to the spectrum of human rhythms and a description of the whole concept of time.
