Helpful Score: 1

This is a magisterial study in the history of emerging western civilization as it struggled up out of the Dark Ages. The title is one of my all-time favorites, reminding us that our assumption of the easy access to nighttime lighting is, in the long reach of human history a very recent thing. Ponder that when you are curled up late one night reading this wonderful book.
