Summary
This book investigates the widespread loss of natural darkness due to artificial lighting and its consequences for human health, wildlife, and the environment. It serves as a foundational reference for understanding why preserving dark periods is essential for circadian entrainment and overall wellbeing in lighting design contexts.
