In the deepest, darkest depths of night, our planet is transforming
and thriving ... At night, magic is all around in the natural
world, from bioluminescent seas in the Caribbean to the Northern
Lights on Arctic winter nights. Explore the lives of animals who
tread a different path under the cover of darkness, including
urbanised coyotes that roam quiet city streets in search of food,
the perilous journey taken by baby turtles in the moonlight, and
the global migration of bearded pigs. Discover nocturnal plants
that have evolved to only bloom in the moonlight, and wild
mushrooms that depend on their glow-in-the-dark superpower for
survival. Follow the people who wake to work hard through the night
in towns and cities, such as hospital staff, air traffic
controllers, fishing crews, musicians, bakers, journalists and many
more. A glossary of all notable terms is included at the end of the
book. Filled with incredible facts and brought to life by Paula
Bossio’s beautifully quirky illustrations, The World at Night
takes readers to the ends of the Earth and everywhere in between to
uncover the hidden wonders of our nocturnal planet.
