Incandescent – We Need to Talk about Light

My new book Incandescent We Need to Talk about Light is published by Saraband on 19th September 2019.

“In Incandescent, journalist Anna Levin reveals her own fraught relationship with changes in lighting, and she explores its real impact on nature, our built environment, health and psychological well-being. We need to talk about light, urgently. And ask the critical question: just how bright is our future?”
