Short description:
From a travel writer and ‘dark sky’ advocate, a profound and beautifully written exploration of our connection with the night sky, and what we stand to lose when we lose darkness

?A truly powerful paean to the night sky? CAROLINE EDEN, author of Black Sea
________________________________________________________________
&&&160;
At a time of personal crisis, travel writer and ?dark sky? advocate Megan Eaves-Egenes turned to the stars for solace. But those same stars, which have guided humankind since the very earliest cultures, are vanishing. As nocturnal cities bleach our skies ? which are becoming 10% brighter every year ? are we also losing our connection with everything that can come from darkness too?&&&160;
To explore her deep curiosity about the night sky, Eaves-Egenes embarks on a journey that takes her from New Zealand to Uzbekistan, Ireland to Argentina, the Himalaya to Japan, discovering the many ways that different cultures have mapped, mythologised and feared the darkness. She meets the extraordinary communities that have made it their mission to understand, preserve and celebrate the beauty of their night skies, learning to see darkness in a whole new way.
Blending travel with myth, history and self-discovery, Nightfaring is a profound and often startling journey through the endangered night, revealing its capacity to enchant and connect us.

&&&39;Dark sky advocate Eaves-Egenes . . . tells stories not of the stars but of the night and its people in remote, dark places from Ireland to Italy via Tanzania, Japan and her native New Mexico. Her adventures reveal Western culture as dangerously allergic to darkness — cue the intensifying light pollution in cities — but also how only at night can we reevaluate, reset and renew.
