There have been many developments in the field of light pollution over
the last few years, and this second edition of 'Light Pollution -
Responses and Remedies' will introduce them in detail. Examples include
the appearance of anti-light pollution legislation in various countries,
new departures in lighting design, human health implications, and the
growing realization among the general public that lighting is not always
a good thing.
In this title, author Bob Mizon discusses the various ways in which
wasted artificial light has damaged the quality of modern life, and
suggest solutions. This book is for anyone who has experienced glare,
discomfort, or nuisance from poorly directed lights; has wondered why we
waste so much money lighting the sky; or anyone who simply wants to see
the stars instead of a baleful urban glow.
"Light Pollution, 2nd Edition" offers practical and inexpensive
solutions to the world-wide problem of wasted artificial light, and
emphasizes that light pollution is not just an astronomers' problem, but
affects everyone in various ways.
