Finding a million-star hotel : an astro-tourist's guide to dark sky places
Mizon, Bob, 1946-2016
Books, Manuscripts
Bob Mizon, one of the world's best known campaigners against the veil of light pollution that has taken away the starry sky from most of the world's population, takes readers to 100 places in the UK and the USA where the wonders of the night sky might still be enjoyed in perfect or near-perfect night skies. Visiting small hotels and simple campsites, and savouring vast dark-sky reserves where the night sky is actively protected, this book celebrates the black skies of yesteryear - which may become a reality for more and more of us as modern technology reins in lighting and puts it only where needed.
