Lunacy, the legendary notion of minds unhinged by the moon,
continues to captivate the popular imagination. Although it
violates the assumptions of modern science and psychiatry, such
belief remains common among mental health workers. Furthermore,
several studies have found a small, unexplained correlation between
behaviour and the lunar cycle. The book is divided into two parts.
It begins with a historical account of the lunacy concept, followed
by an investigation of hypothetical mechanisms for a lunar effect.
