All Through the Night: One woman’s fight to protect our planet's nature and environment from the effects of light pollution

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.
