Moon Phases

The book progresses logically, starting with the Moon's physical properties and orbital dynamics, then moves into its gravitational effects on tides and coastal ecosystems. It dedicates significant attention to biological rhythms influenced by the lunar cycle, like marine animal reproductive cycles, and explores the Moon's role in lunar calendars, mythology, and religious practices. By drawing upon astronomical observations, tidal data, ecological studies, and anthropological research, Moon Phases provides a comprehensive understanding of our closest celestial neighbor.
