An interesting new angle on the astrology-science debate: Percy Seymour is principal lecturer in astronomy and astrophysics at Plymouth University and his new book *Scientific Proof of Astrology* claims cosmic movements influence the brains of unborn children.

The *Times Online* features the news that 'star movements can influence us? in the report headed Top scientist gives backing to astrology

Can anyone tell me the names and titles of any previous books Seymour has written about astrology and science?

I believe that Seymour's new book is largely the same as his 1997 one, 'The Scientific Basis of Astrology: Tuning to the Music of the Planets'. Certainly the similarity in title & sub-title suggests as much. I haven't actually seen the new book, would be interested to know if there's much new material in it.

The UK press has certainly picked it up in a big way this time around, and from what I've seen have given the book very favourable reviews. Using the word 'magnetism' seems to instantly make astrology a whole lot more acceptable.
