Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Absorbing…The End of Night delivers a forceful…critique of our overexposed world.” —Wall Street Journal
“Introducing us to the pitch-black island of Sark, and groups such as Civil Twilight (designer of streetlights that shut off under moonlight) and Starlight Reserves (which considers freedom from light pollution a basic right), Bogard makes a solid case for hitting the national dimmer switch.” —Mother Jones
“A hymn to vanished darkness. A literary journey. This is a rich book. As you read it, you too will want to reclaim the night and perhaps rediscover the heavens of the Enlightenment.” —Nature
“A moving, poetic, immersive, multifaceted, and thought-provoking study... Terrific.” —Publishers Weekly
“Appealing…An engaging blend of personal story, hard science and a bit of history.” —Kirkus Reviews
“It’s impossible not to read this thorough and engaging survey of the subject and not be convinced [that light pollution matters].” —Evening Standard (London)
“To seek to let back in a little of the lost starlight and allow more of nature’s shadow to reassert its balm seem to me both modest and wholesome aims, and Bogard’s book does much to make a case for them.” —Guardian (London)
“A lyrical, far-reaching book. Part elegy, part call-to-arms, The End of Night feels like an essential addition to the literature of nature.” —Boston Globe
“It’s impossible to read it without feeling the impulse to set out for the spaces beyond the city limits and spread out a blanket under the stars.” —Columbus Dispatch
