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.

評分讓我想起瞭小時候的夜空. 本書主要講LIGHT POLLUTION, 讓我對小區微暗的燈光意見不大瞭.
评分這是事實:人們毫無察覺黑夜的消逝,毫無察覺過度的光明令我們失去什麼。我們屬於這一輩人:小時候驚嘆華燈異彩,數著星星,驚訝飛機;長大後習慣華燈異彩,數著飛機,驚訝星星。這個城市太過亮堂,導緻我們無法入眠,於是我們習慣熬夜工作或娛樂。我們拘在亮光下,已經忘記黑夜的黑魅力。
