Nocturnalia: nature in the western night

See all formats and editions

  • This book takes a perspective on nature that no book currently offers, and which people are looking for, a book specifically about the rich world of 'nighttime ecology.'
  • A photo-heavy exploration, over 100 photos in all by Charles Hood, of nature after dark that will open reader's eyes to everything they've been missing when they stay indoors after sunset.
  • A mix of practical advice, science writing, and field guide, this book invites the reader on an adventure, making it easy for a novice nightwalker to get comfortable after dark.
  • Written by an author attuned to culture as well as nature, this book will untangle myths about darkness and the animals and plants that reside in it, as well as the associations with blackness and the unknown, including the night sky itself, that have so warped our thinking.
  • This book is a future staple of gift shops at parks, museums, and zoos.
