This fascinating study brings together a wide range of observations of lunar influences on living organisms from plants to humans. For the reader without specialist knowledge, it offers an introduction to the complex subject of lunar influences on the Earth’s biosphere. A brief introduction to the Moon and its rhythms in astronomical terms is followed by a study of the tides and complex ocean movements with which numerous organisms are connected in their life processes. Selected organisms are described in detail, with a chapter on the spectrum of human rhythms leading into a description of the whole concept of time.
