Title Light Pollution : Responses and Remedies Author(s) Mizon, Bob Publication New York, NY, Springer New York, 2012. Description XXII, 282 p. 165 illus., 42 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note Light pollution is a major threat to astronomy across the entire developed world. The night sky that most of us can see bears little relationship to the spectacular vistas that our ancestors have gazed at for??tens of thousands of years. It is ironic that as our understanding of the universe has improved, our ability to see it has been dramatically reduced by the skyglow of our civilization. In the second edition of Light Pollution - Responses and Remedies, Bob Mizon delves into the history and practice of lighting and how its misue has not only stolen the stars, but blighted our lives and those of our fellow-creatures on this planet. This book suggests how we can win back the night sky and at the same time save energy and money, improve our health, and even lower crime rate! It also includes a list of targets for urban stargazers, and recommendations for ensuring sane lighting worldwide ISBN,Price 9781461438229 Keyword(s) 1. ASTRONOMY 2.
