Opis

We need to talk about light. When Anna Levin began suffering adverse reactions to new forms of lighting, she found herself stumbling into a labyrinth of unanswered questions about how and why light is changing - for the worse - in the modern world... And light really has changed, dramatically. In recent decades, artificial light has spread exponentially around the world at the expense of darkness. And the quality of light has altered, with technology and legislation crushing incandescent lighting - a source of warm, bright light - and leaving colder, harsher LED light in its place. Incandescent explores this phenomenon and its deep impacts on our physical environment, health and psychological well-being. This important book shines a light on a subject that has been little scrutinised but intimately affects us all, and asks, just where do we go from here?
