First time I ever heard of this author and this book, picqued my curiosity intensely already. My go to reference in this topic is the classic and controversial work of Jean Louis Kervran, and others like Visotskii in more recent times. This sentence "also makes clear correlations between transmutation products/rates with relative positions of the Sun-Earth-Moon" struck me because, being an Agricultural Engineer and also a crop producer, formed (or deformed) in the University, I recall the stares I received when I was beginning my career and planned a crop with the seeding in a date that the workers I had to collaborate with, of Quechua ancestry, could not conceive, because it was in the wrong part of the lunar cycle from their point of view. Modern agriculture doesn't at all consider this, but for ancient cultures, the sowing of seed had to be done on full moons, or the crop would not yield the expected amount. I have come across only one professional agricultural engineer, of Colombian origin, that has published research on the topic of lunar influence on crop production and he is very convincing towards a marked influence of it. He proposes it is important for water flow in the crops, but may we have just found another key factor, it's influence in the nutrient synthesis of plants? Fascinating!!!
