| Abstract | Starting with the invention of the lightbulb 150 years ago, electric light has taken over our cities and towns: in many places all over the world, the stars in the sky aren't even visible. Aitken introduces middle grade readers to the effects of light pollution. He explains why darkness is important for plants, animals and people, and the practical things we can do to protect the night sky for all ecosystems on the planet. -- adapted from back cover |
