Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Named a Best Book of 2023 by Scientific AmericanThis timely and captivating look at the hidden impact of light pollution is rich in revelation and insightlyrical (The Wall Street Journal) and urges us to cherish natural darkness for the sake of the environment, our own wellbeing, and all life on earth.How much light is too much light? Satellite pictures show our planet as a brightly glowing orb, and in our era of constant illumination, light pollution has become a major issue. The worlds flora and fauna have evolved to operate in the natural cycle of day and night. But in the last 150 years, we have extended our dayand in doing so have forced out the inhabitants of the night and disrupted the circadian rhythms necessary to sustain all living things, including ourselves.In this wellresearched and surprisingly lyrical (The New Statesman, UK) book, Swedish conservationist Johan Eklf urges us to appreciate natural darkness, its creatures, and its unique benefits. He ponders the beauties of the night sky, traces the errant paths of lightdrunk moths and the swift dives of keeneyed owls, and shows us the bioluminescent creatures of the deepest oceans. As a devoted friend of the night, Eklf reveals the startling domino effect of diminishing darkness: insects, dumbfounded by streetlamps, failing to reproduce; birds blinded and bewildered by artificial lights; and bats starving as they wait in vain for insects that only come out in the dark. For humans, lightinduced sleep disturbances impact our hormones and weight, and can contribute to mental health problems like chronic stress and depression. The streetlamps, floodlights, and neon signs of cities are altering entire ecosystems, and scientists are only just beginning to understand their longterm effects. The light bulblong the symbol of progress and developmentneeds to be turned off.Urgentvivideyeopening (Publishers Weekly), and ultimately encouraging, The Darkness Manifesto outlines simple steps that we can take to benefit ourselves and the planet. In order to ensure a bright future, we must embrace the darkness.
