Bøger af Johan Eklöf

HVAD DER SKER MED EN VERDEN, SOM ALDRIG SLUKKER FOR LYSET.For at sikre en lys fremtid, skal vi omfavne mørket.Verdens flora og fauna har siden tidernes morgen levet i en naturlig cyklus mellem nat og dag. Det har opfindelsen af elpæren ændret radikalt ved. Den konstante kunstige belysning i dag har skabt global lysforurening, og det forstyrrer al slags liv.Mørkemanifestet handler om den dominoeffekt, der finder sted, når lyset er tændt døgnet rundt: insekter, der ikke formerer sig, fugle, der Blændes og forvirres, sultne flagermus, der venter forgæves på et natligt bytte. Og mennesker, hvis hormoner og mentale velvære tvinges ud af kurs. En natøkologisk og livsforandrende bog om fordelene ved mørket.

**A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022**'Powerful... a clarion call for change', New Statesman'Poetic and philosophical at times, intimate and expansive at others', Daily TelegraphHow much light is too much light? The Darkness Manifesto urges us to cherish natural darkness for the sake of the environment, our own wellbeing, and all life on earth.The world's flora and fauna have evolved to operate in the natural cycle of day and night. But constant illumination has made light pollution a major issue. From space, our planet glows brightly, 24/7. By extending our day, we have forced out the inhabitants of the night and disrupted the circadian rhythms necessary to sustain all living things. Our cities' streetlamps and neon signs are altering entire ecosystems.Johan Eklöf encourages us to appreciate natural darkness and its unique benefits. He also writes passionately about the domino effect of damage we inflict by keeping the lights on: insects failing to reproduce; birds blinded and bewildered; bats starving as they wait in vain for insects that only come out in the dark. And humans can find that our hormones, weight and mental well-being are all impacted.Eye-opening and ultimately encouraging, The Darkness Manifesto offers simple steps that can benefit ourselves and the planet.The light bulb - long the symbol of progress - needs to be turned off. To ensure a bright future, we must embrace the darkness
