Fascinating reading, well done

Biological Time is a book about natural clocks and natural rhythms in the world. Animals have a biological clock that tells them when to mate, when to migrate, when to return, and many other patterns of their life. While we have forced ourselves into the pattern of time regulated by the rotation of the earth and revolutions around the sun, many other animals regulate their patterns by lunar or other patterns. With lots of examples of differing biological time patterns the author leads the reader on a fascinating journey into this field of knowledge. He even gives examples of aboriginal tribes that regulate their concept of time and seasons based on things like when certain species of fish return to the islands or a tribe of Indians who associated the return of salmon to the rivers with the appearance of a particular moth. Fascinating reading and a view into how we are all interconnected as the biorhythms of one species associate it with another. Biological Time is a recommended read for anyone interested in biological rhythms.

A Fascinating Book

This is a profound and fascinating look at how animals respond to changes in solar and lunar changes. The most intriguing aspect is that ancient cultures knew things we are just starting to figure out. (...)
