But light is changing, dramatically, with artificial light pollution, and we don't truly understand the consequences. Nature writer Anna Levin explores the impact on the planet and on human health.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtificial light is voracious and spreading. Vanquishing precious darkness across the planet, when we are supposed to be using less energy. The quality of light has altered as well. Technology and legislation have crushed warm incandescent lighting in favour of harsher, often glaring alternatives. Light is fundamental - it really matters: it tells plants which way to grow, birds where to fly and coral when to spawn. It tells each and every one of us when to sleep, wake, eat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe mess with the eternal rhythm of dawn-day-dusk-night at our peril. But mess with it we have, and we still don't truly understand the consequences. In \u003ci\u003eIncandescent\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist Anna Levin reveals her own fraught relationship with changes in lighting, and she explores its real impact on nature, our built environment, health and psychological well-being. We need to talk about light, urgently. And ask the critical question: \u003ci\u003e just how bright is our future?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Saraband\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/26\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912235315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Anna Levin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42148850106549,"sku":"9781912235315","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_5c36bcde-73e7-45e1-bdcb-478cb6942f98.jpg?v=1653485648","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/incandescent-we-need-to-talk-about-light-9781912235315","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
