ImageSUNDANCE BOOKS AND MUSIC NEWS RELEASE – A  reading and reception to celebrate the release of Paul Bogard’s new book, The End of Night: Searching for Natural Darkness in the Age of Artificial Light (Little, Brown and Company), will be held on Tuesday, July 9, 6:30 p.m., Sundance Books and Music, 121 California Ave, Reno, Nev., 89509.

A deeply panoramic tour of the night, from its brightest spots to the darkest skies we have left. A starry night is one of nature’s most magical wonders. Yet in our artificially lit world, three-quarters of Americans’ eyes never switch to night vision and most of us no longer experience true darkness. In The End of Night, Paul Bogard restores our awareness of the spectacularly primal, wildly dark night sky and how it has influenced the human experience across everything from science to art.
