Biological Time - Book Summary __________________________________________________ |
Plants and animals time
themselves by rhythms of light and darkness. We often think of the sun and how
it transforms the seasons, but illumination from the moon governs the night and
presents equally important influences. Prehistoric people understood these
relationships and used their movements to mark time and plan for important
events, such as when to hunt, fish and gather wild fruits and roots. Farmers utilized
this same formula to forecast the success of crops and animals. Great
civilizations were built and religions formed based on this methodology, which
is still practiced by some indigenous peoples. Biological Time
presents an extraordinary hypothesis, supported with archaeological evidence and
a wide range of examples ranging from salmon, deer, and geese to grapes
Biological Time is for the naturalist, scientist, outdoors person, gardener and all those who wonder what clocks Nature follows.
