Why darkness is so important – to plants, to animals, and to
ourselves – and why we must protect it all costs. Darkness is the
first thing we know in our human existence. Safe and warm inside
the bubble of the womb, we are comfortable in that embracing dark.
But as soon as we are bought into the light, we learn to fear the
dark. Why? This book is a celebration of all things that go bump in
the night and the joy that can be found when the sun goes down. As
a society we have closed our curtains to the darkness, now Dani
Robertson urges you to cast those curtains wide, step out of your
front door and let the darkness pull you in. Some 99 per cent of
Western Europeans live under light polluted skies, but what is this
doing to our health? Our wellbeing? Our connection to the cycles of
nature? Our wildlife, too, has been cast into the harsh glare of
our light addiction, with devastating impacts. In this book Dani
shares with you the excitement and adventure she has found when
everyone else is tucked up in bed. She explores constellations and
cultures, enjoys environmental escapades, all whilst learning why
we are addicted to light and why it is ruining our lives. She’ll
show you why the darkness is so important and why we must protect
it all costs. You’ll become a crusader of Darkness and an expert
on what we can do to stop the onward march of light pollution
(clue: it’s as easy as the flick of a switch). Her life depends
on darkness, and yours does too.
