Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 84 pp. Original cloth-backed boards. Near Fine. Psyche Miniatures: General Series No. 15. 'In 1928, Hector Munro Fox, then professor of Zoology at the University of Birmingham, UK, published a small volume entitled 'Selene or Sex and the Moon' The title ensured the book a place on the bookshelves of the 'obscene books' sections in the libraries of Post-Victorian England, to the chagrin of the voyeur and the irritation of biologists deprived of a most readable account of the life cycles of shellfish. The book is also concerned with how the application of science to fable and folklore has increased our understanding of the Moon's influence on life on Earth, and has been the starting point for much of what follows. Deified by the ancients, belief in lunar supernatural powers pre-dates History, and the origins of these beliefs must therefore be speculative. A case can undoubtedly be made for the spiritual inspiration of the Moon (Huxley, 1950), but the phase transitions of the monthly cycle also invite association with earthly changes in the sentient mind. The early Greeks and Romans for example considered sheep's wool and human hair to grow more rapidly when the Moon was in the ascendant. The belief that the early growth rate of children and cattle was determined by the state of the Moon at birth seems to have been wide-spread (Munro Fox, 1928)' (Morgan, E., 'The Moon and Life on Earth.' In: Barbieri, C., Rampazzi, F. (eds) Earth-Moon Relationships. Springer, Dordrecht, 2001). 'This interesting book is written for the general reader with no special knowledge of biology; it is intended to arouse interest as well as to impart information on the subject. Prof. Munro Fox deals with the historical and the mythical aspects of the problem before directing the attention of the reader to authentic cases of animals obeying a lunar rhythm in reproduction' (Books Received, Nature, Vol. 121, p. 981, 23 June 1928). It was largely inspired by Fox's field observations in the Gulf of Suez. There, he noted that the marine sea urchin (Diadema) restricted its spawning cycles tightly around the new moon. He paired this with observations of other marine organisms like the Pacific Palolo worm. Because it directly connected sexual reproduction with lunar cycles, the volume famously became a fixture in the "obscene books" sections of restrictive, Post-Victorian libraries. Despite this, it remains an early foundational text in the study of biological rhythms (chronobiology). …
