Night Life
Walking Britain's wild landscapes after dark
Walk through Britain's wild landscapes after dark with two-time winner of the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing, John Lewis-Stempel.<BR>'Britain's finest living nature writer'<BR>The TimesAt night the senses become reordered. <BR><BR>Hearing, touch, smell are privileged over vision. It is after dark that we humans become more sensitive to nature, more 'animal'. But the lights of the modern world are obliterating any meaningful connection to the night. We have lost touch with its wonders as well as its terrors.<BR><BR>In this enchanting follow-up to Nightwalking, John Lewis-Stempel once again ventures out into the night to discover the natural world after dark, its rarely seen spectacles and curiosities. There are hares boxing under stars, night jars hunting moths in the summer wood, wintry moons with halos, rock-pool creatures glowing neon under UV light, barley fields shimmering in moonshine ...<BR><BR>In Night Life, Lewis-Stempel wanders his familiar farmland, and goes further afield too, exploring the Lake District, the Welsh coast, London's Thames. Everywhere, he shows us why the night is precious, and what it is to be human in the dark.
