Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Weather Influences: An Empirical Study of the Mental and Physiological Effects of Definite Meteorological Conditions
If the present volume possesses no other virtue, it has that of being an essay into an hitherto untouched field of scientific research. As such it must be judged. Not as a final word, but as a suggestion for future investigation. And the field which it enters is not without interest to the popular mind, nor possibilities to the investigator. The basis of widespread popular opinion along any line is a fertile field for scientific research, and none more fertile than that of belief in weather in?uence.
Five of the chapters of the volume have, in substance, previously appeared in print. Chapters V VI., and VII. In Monograph Supplement No. 10 to the Psycho logical Review; Chapter XI. In Popular Science Monthly and Chapter XII. In the Publications of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. The rest of the material is entirely new.
