Reviews

The wealth of sources and documents one finds in From Light to Dark is one of the great merits of the book. -Leonardo With many such insights and many more examples of the ways in which we may reframe the scholarship of modern perception and sensory experience, From Light to Dark certainly deserve[s] further attention. -Journal of Design History Illumination is one of the aspects of life that has become so obvious we have stopped noticing it. In this innovative and illuminating book, Tim Edensor provides an elegant and necessary account of light and dark, their role in the production of everyday life, the stories we tell about them, and the emotions they engender. He has performed a key task of any critical thinker-taking the obvious and making it visible again. -Tim Cresswell, Trinity College
