A lyrical exploration of the night and the darkness that is rapidly disappearing from our modern world. This book takes readers on a journey through nocturnal landscapes, examining what we lose as artificial light increasingly dominates our evenings and what it means for both nature and humanity.
From urban light pollution to the creatures that depend on darkness, from the cultural significance of night to our own circadian rhythms, this is a timely meditation on an endangered experience. The author weaves together natural history, personal observation, and environmental concern to illuminate why darkness matters.
Part nature writing, part cultural commentary, this book invites us to reconsider our relationship with the night and to value the beauty and necessity of true darkness in an over-lit age.
