| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This book is all about light pollution, which is the alteration of light levels in the outdoor environment due to man-made sources of light. Chapters include skyglow, measurement and global effects, types of light sources, reducing light pollution, re-designing lighting plans, and everything in between. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
