Behind the Books: "Let There Be Night: Testimony on Behalf of the Dark"

Thursday, February 5, 2009
4:30 p.m. - 6 p.m.

Paul Bogard, Alison Deming and Ken Lamberton will present their book of essays titled "Let There Be Night: Testimony on Behalf of the Dark."

The development of the modern world has brought with it rampant light pollution, destroying the ancient mystery of night and exacting a terrible price – wasted energy, damage to human health and the sometimes fatal interruption of the life patterns of many species of wildlife.

In "Let There Be Night," 29 writers, scientists, poets and scholars share their personal experiences of night and help us to understand what we miss when dark skies and nocturnal wildness vanish.
