Let There Be Night

This collection makes a unique contribution to environmental writing. This is simply a wonderful idea for an anthology, and the writing is vibrant and insightful.” --Bradley John Monsma, author of The Sespe Wild: Southern California’s Last Free River

“Let There Be Night celebrates the gifts of darkness and mourns the loss of dark skies to light pollution. These fine essays reopen us to the dark, where we learn courage and remember wonder.” --Stephen Trimble, author of The Sagebrush Ocean: A Natural History of the Great Basin

""Those who care about dark skies will certainly be engaged, delighted, and inspired by Let There Be Night, but the book deserves an audience far beyond already-committed enthusiasts. It will have every reader longing to head out, look up, and revel in the quiet wonder of a truly dark night."" - Nightscape, the magazine of the International Dark Sky Association

""Down here in the trenches, the battle against light pollution often gets mired in lumen caps, emission angles, lighting zones, and horizontal illuminance. So it's always uplifting to be reminded what we're fighting for, and this collection of 29 short essays does just that."" - Sky & Telescope
