Weather By The Moon
Free pdf
This book was first printed in 1999, a result of about
three years’ work, the culmination of 20 years of observ-
ing moon cycles and research. At first self-published,
after two years the rights were purchased by Hazard
Press (Christchurch, NZ), one of a number of independ-
ent NZ book publishers that support and bring unusual
NZ works to a wider audience.
Hazard Press in turn temporarily
leased the contract for UK cov-
erage to Gothic Image Publica-
tions, a New Age publisher based
in Glastonbury. In 2003, Hazard
Press ceased publishing this
book and on request returned all
rights to the author. In the UK,
although not contractually ena-
bled to do so, Gothic Image
chose to continue publishing
using the cover at bottom right.
Still currently unauthorised,
the
book is continuously published
by Gothic Image in the USA and
sold on the world’s stage through
the auspices of Amazon, Barnes
and Noble and other retail out-
lets, without any royalty
renumeration to the author, so
technically pirating the work.

Despite requests to desist, this process has continued unabated.
As no small claims international books tribunal exists there
seems little that can be done to stop what has been intellectual
theft for 7 years, other than making it available
free online.
It
may make no difference, but if every similarly treated author did
the same it might go some way toward deterring pirating by
unauthorised publishers.
One advantage of offering the book in this way is that we
can offer the original that suffered some editing in both printed
versions for reasons of space. It also enables us to announce the
book that has been written since
Predicting Weather By The
Moon.
The new work has valuable additions, updated with new
techniques including matching of past year records to current
and future years. These cover 1802 - 2012 which means fore-
casting by seasons is possible to 2012 and beyond if the reader
merely repeats the demonstrated pattern. In effect one can go
200 years ahead. The new book is called
The Lunar Code
and is
now published by Random House (NZ) Ltd. The author recom-
mends
The Lunar Code
to the longterm weather planner and
serious weather buff. It is available from all NZ bookshops or
online from various sources, including www.predictweather.com.
We wish readers enjoyment of this free book in their first
steps on the road of what will be an exciting and rewarding
journey. Please send it to your friends!
