A brilliant starry night is one of the most thrilling natural wonders. Yet in a world of nights as bright as day, most of us no longer experience true darkness.

In The End of Night, Paul Bogard travels the globe in search of darkest night, blending personal narrative, natural history, science and folklore to shed light on darkness. Showing exactly what we've lost, what's left, and what we might hope to regain, he restores our former vision of the natural darkness of the night in its primal and otherworldly immensity.

Bogard travels from Las Vegas' Luxor Beam - the brightest spot on the planet - to places so starry the sky looks like snow. Pausing to accompany the last gas-lamp lighters on the streets of London and to visit the tiny Channel Island of Sark, now an internationally acclaimed and protected area for stargazing, Bogard's panoramic tour of the night gives us every reason to flip the switch - tonight.
