{"product_id":"to-know-a-starry-night","title":"To Know a Starry Night","description":"\u003cp\u003eAgainst a backdrop rich with purples  blues  and shades of black  a blaze of stars glittering across a vast empty sky spurs our curiosity about the past  driving us inevitably to ponder the future. For millennia  the night sky has been a collective canvas for our stories  maps  traditions  beliefs  and discoveries. Over the course of time  continents have formed and eroded  sea levels have risen and fallen  the chemistry of our atmosphere has changed  and yet the daily cycle of light to dark has remained pretty much the same . . . until the last 100 years. Karen Trevino  from the foreword  No matter where we live  what language we speak  or what culture shapes our worldview  there is always the night. The darkness is a reminder of the ebb and flow  of an opportunity to recharge  of the movement of time. But how many of us have taken the time to truly know a starry night? To really know it.  Combining the lyrical writing of Paul Bogard with the stunning night-sky photography of Beau Rogers  To Know a Starry Night explores the powerful experience of being outside under a natural starry sky\\--how important it is to human life  and how so many people dont know this experience. As the night sky increasingly becomes flooded with artificial-light pollution  this poignant work helps us reconnect with the natural darkness of night  an experience that now  in our time  is fading from our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964779032629,"sku":"ByrdShop_1647790123","price":32.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781647790127.jpg?v=1770479571","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/to-know-a-starry-night","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
