Paul Bogard earned a Ph.D. in literature and environment at the University of Nevada, Reno, and now teaches at Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin. He returns as often as possible to watch the starry skies over the lake in northern Minnesota where he first learned the value of darkness and 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
