A deeply panoramic tour of the night, from its brightest spots to the darkest skies we have left.
A starry night is one of nature's most magical wonders. Yet in our artificially lit world, three-quarters of Americans' eyes never switch to night vision and most of us no longer experience true darkness. In THE END OF NIGHT, Paul Bogard restores our awareness of the spectacularly primal, wildly dark night sky and how it has influenced the human experience across everything from science to art.
From Las Vegas' Luxor Beam--the brightest single spot on this planet--to nights so starlit the sky looks like snow, Bogard blends personal narrative, natural history, science, and history to shed light on the importance of darkness--what we've lost, what we still have, and what we might regain--and the simple ways we can reduce the brightness of our nights tonight.
书评:体验黑暗的夜晚以及璀璨的星空 ——黑夜的终结 刚刚拿到书的时候就开始整体的看,星空的封面很美,唯一美中不足的就是并不是彩印,起初觉得应该星空有更多的画面感,但是后来翻看目录和浏览全书的时候发现,本书更多的是讲述一段段故事,主人公发现星空之美以及对黑夜的...

评分亮如白昼的黑夜 保罗波嘉德是美国詹姆斯麦迪逊大学的副教授,他从黑夜的角度,记述了在繁华的美国城市里霓虹灯流光溢彩的照射下,找寻对黑夜中自然环境的美,发现夜间行动的动植物的生命活动,试图唤醒人们对自然的热爱。 在十级的夜空中,这是最黑暗无忌的颜色,仿佛置身于宇...
让我想起了小时候的夜空. 本书主要讲LIGHT POLLUTION, 让我对小区微暗的灯光意见不大了.
评分这是事实:人们毫无察觉黑夜的消逝,毫无察觉过度的光明令我们失去什么。我们属于这一辈人:小时候惊叹华灯异彩,数着星星,惊讶飞机;长大后习惯华灯异彩,数着飞机,惊讶星星。这个城市太过亮堂,导致我们无法入眠,于是我们习惯熬夜工作或娱乐。我们拘在亮光下,已经忘记黑夜的黑魅力。
