This “superb history” of artificial light traces the evolution of society—“invariably fascinating and often original . . . [it] amply lives up to its title” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In Brilliant, Jane Brox explores humankind’s ever-changing relationship to artificial light, from the stone lamps of the Pleistocene to the LEDs embedded in fabrics of the future. More than a survey of technological development, this sweeping history reveals how artificial light changed our world, and how those social and cultural changes in turn led to the pursuit of more ways of spreading, maintaining, and controlling light. Brox plumbs the class implications of light—who had it, who didn’t—through the centuries when crude lamps and tallow candles constricted waking hours. She identifies the pursuit of whale oil as the first time the need for light thrust us toward an environmental tipping point. Only decades later, gas street lights opened up the evening hours to leisure, which changed the ways we live and sleep and the world’s ecosystems. Edison’s bulbs produced a light that seemed to its users all but divorced from human effort or cost. And yet, as Brox’s informative portrait of our current grid system shows, the cost is ever with us. Brilliant is infused with human voices, startling insights, and timely questions about how our future lives will be shaped by light

Excerpt from Artificial Light: Its Influence Upon Civilization In the following pages I have endeavored to discuss artificial light for the general reader, in a manner as devoid as possible of intricate details. The early chapters deal particularly with primitive artificial light and their contents are generally historical. The science of light-production may be considered to have been born in the latter part of the eighteenth century and beginning with that period a few chapters treat of the development of artificial light up to the present time. Until the middle of the nineteenth century mere light was available, but as the century progressed, the light-sources through the application of science be came more powerful and efficient. Gradually mere light grew to more light and in the dawn of the twen tieth century adequate light became available. In a single century, after the development of artificial light began in earnest, the efficiency of light-production in creased fifty-fold and the cost diminished correspond ingly. The next group of chapters deals with various economic influences of artificial light and with some of the byways in which artificial light is serving man kind. On passing through the spectacular aspects of lighting we finally emerge into the esthetics of light and lighting.

"In Artificial Light: A Narrative Inquiry into the Nature of Abstraction, Immediacy, and other Architectural Fictions, Keith Mitnick - himself an architect and teacher - presents a startlingly vivid personal memoir. Inexorably linked to his highly developed awareness of his surroundings - be they the family living room, the amusement park, a porno set, or the site of a prison execution - Mitnick's observations reveal his past in engrossing detail. By exploiting the literary conventions of the genre, he crafts an intimate narrative of repressed childhood anger, adolescent rebellion, and thoughtful reflection."--BOOK JACKET.
