Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is "Cosmic Influences on Human Behavior" by Michel Gauquelin. Published by Stein and Day, it was translated from French to English by Joyce E. Clemow. Fairly unique to this edition, the book was issued with two dust-jackets : the first, or outer jacket, is a plain yellow, matte jacket with simple lettering that high-lights some of the topics in the book; the second, or inner jacket, is a more dynamically designed jacket with an outline of a human body surrounded by swirls of energy. The following is excerpted from the book's blurb : "This book is a major attempt to examine astrology from a strictly scientific point of view. Michel Gauquelin, whose work at the Sorbonne was in psychology and statistics has devoted more than 20 years' research to the question of astrology. In this book he reveals the startling results of his research. Is our universe astrological? Does time of birth affect temperament? Do planetary types correspond to personality types? Gauquelin's answers to these and other questions may surprise many readers - including the experts. For the statistical correlations he has discovered in thousands of case histories cannot be explained by the laws of chance."
