Reseña del libro "Nightfaring: In Search of the Disappearing Darkness"

Every year night skies get 10% brighter. Light pollution is erasing the stars. In Nightfaring, travel writer and ‘dark sky’ advocate Megan Eaves travels the world to better understand our deep connection with the night sky.

Finding solace in the stars at a time of difficulty in her own life, she embarks on a journey that takes her from New Zealand to Uzbekistan, Italy to Japan, Germany to the Himalaya, exploring the many ways that we have depended on, feared and mythologised darkness culturally and historically. The constellations have guided humankind in navigation and husbandry since the very earliest cultures, yet as nocturnal cities bleach our skies and that deep knowledge is lost, are we also losing our connection with the wild, with stillness, with the possibility that self-knowledge and healing can come from darkness, too? Blending travel and nature writing with history and self-discovery, Nightfaring is a profound and often startling journey through darkness and the endangered night.
