Praise for Incandescent

​​”Details the disruptive effects of light pollution on the natural world, from the humble dog whelk to turtles … Incandescent will make you more appreciative of “the ultimate low-energy lighting source” daylight.” Financial Times

It throws an intriguing new light on an unanticipated problem that is only now becoming recognised.” Clive Simpson
