| book description |

Only Christopher Dewdney could mine the darkest pools of lore, legend, natural history, science, cultural history and the arts to recast the seemingly commonplace aspects of an ordinary night into a magical and exhilarating nocturnal tour.Using an original hour-by-hour structure that follows night s progression from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am, Dewdney explores and celebrates a single representative night at each point on the clock. 6:00 pm: The setting sun begins Dewdney s search todiscover the perfect sunset. 10:00 pm: The evening rhythms of the city hit theirstride, from the cop on the night beat to the backbeatof the clubs. Midnight: The hour of romance and magic. 3:00 am: Dewdney is wide awake at a sleep clinic. 5:00 am: The desperate hour, we enter a provocativecultural investigation of the art of darkness. For all those who ve been wondering what they ve been missing while they sleep, Acquainted with the Night is an illuminating exploration and a terrific gift book.""
