Paperback. Condition: Very Good. **A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022** 'Powerful. a clarion call for change', New Statesman 'Poetic and philosophical at times, intimate and expansive at others', Daily Telegraph How much light is too much light? The Darkness Manifesto urges us to cherish natural darkness for the sake of the environment, our own wellbeing, and all life on earth. The world's flora and fauna have evolved to operate in the natural cycle of day and night. But constant illumination has made light pollution a major issue. From space, our planet glows brightly, 24/7. By extending our day, we have forced out the inhabitants of the night and disrupted the circadian rhythms necessary to sustain all living things. Our cities' streetlamps and neon signs are altering entire ecosystems. Johan Eklof encourages us to appreciate natural darkness and its unique benefits. He also writes passionately about the domino effect of damage we inflict by keeping the lights on: insects failing to reproduce; birds blinded and bewildered; bats starving as they wait in vain for insects that only come out in the dark. And humans can find that our hormones, weight and mental well-being are all impacted. Eye-opening and ultimately encouraging, The Darkness Manifesto offers simple steps that can benefit ourselves and the planet. The light bulb - long the symbol of progress - needs to be turned off. To ensure a bright future, we must embrace the darkness. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: NEUF. Une ode à la nuit noire, mieux la ressentir pour mieux la préserver.Ballet nutritif des chauves-souris, chant nuptial des grands ducs, perspective vertigineuse de la voûte céleste, bioluminescence des créatures des abysses. C'est un spectacle tourbillonnant de vie qui se déroule dans les coulisses de la nuit, ce moment sacré, propice aux principales activités de la faune sauvage : accouplement, chasse, pollinisation. La nuit n'est pas le monde des humains ! Pour capter sa magie, il faut savoir faire preuve de patience, mettre ses cinq sens en éveil et, surtout, laisser place à l'obscurité. Car, si notre peur du noir nous incite à tout illuminer, la pénombre demeure une condition vitale à l'équilibre fragile des écosystèmes et à notre propre santé.Zoologiste suédois de renommée internationale, Johan Eklöf nous invite avec passion et onirisme à nous réconcilier avec l'obscurité. Sous sa plume, la nuit s'enchante et nous dévoile toute sa beauté et sa poésie. À la croisée de la biologie, de la philosophie et de l'écologie, ce récit nous ouvre grand les portes d'un monde fascinant. Il ne tient qu'à nous de le découvrir, de le comprendre et de le ressentir, pour mieux le protéger. Une vulgarisation scientifique immersive, qui nous apprend à combiner notre besoin de lumière avec le besoin vital d'obscurité de la nature.Oser vivre l'obscurité pour mieux préserver le vivant. - Nombre de page(s) : 272 - Poids : 360g - Langue : SUEDOIS - Genre : Sciences de la vie et de la terre, Botanique, Ecologie.
