Nightfaring: In Search of the Disappearing DarknessA heartfelt exploration of the night on Earth, following a travel journalist and dark sky advocate around the globe as she seeks out dark places in our ever brightening world. People, plants and animals all depend on the natural night both its darkness and its starlight for so much, from regulating our sleep cycles to providing the inspiration for myths and legends across the millennia. But darkness is disappearing, and with it, our view of the stars.

A heartfelt exploration of the night on Earth, following a travel journalist and dark sky advocate around the globe as she seeks out dark places in our ever-brightening world.

People, plants and animals all depend on the natural night--both its darkness and its starlight--for so much, from regulating our sleep cycles to providing the inspiration for myths and legends across the millennia. But darkness is disappearing, and with it, our view of the stars. The constant glow of streetlights, of headlights streaming down highways, and wasteful glare from skyscrapers left shining all night have created so much light pollution that the majority of Americans can no longer see the Milky Way or experience the restful embrace of a natural night. As the dark becomes ever more elusive, it is a critical moment to stop, look up, and consider what we lose with the disappearing stars.

In Nightfaring, Megan Eaves-Egenes travels around the world to better understand our deep connection to the dark. Finding solace in the stars at a time of difficulty in her own life, she embarks on a journey from New Zealand to Uzbekistan, Italy to Japan, Germany to the Himalaya, exploring the many ways that humans have depended on, feared, and mythologized darkness.

Blending travel and nature writing with history and self-discovery, Megan writes of how the stars have helped her chart the course of her own life--just as they've guided humankind for as long as we've slept beneath them.

Dog loves but not durable.
Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 24"
Our Golden has gone through 3 of these. He absolutely loves them. Contains two kinds of squeakers and crunchy noise maker. But they don’t last long so it’s good they’re inexpensive. Just wish the fabric was more durable.

Our dog loves them
Style: Latex Surpise Color, Size: 6"
Not for every type of dog, but our dog LOVES these things. Try one and see how it goes. They are cheap, so no great loss if your dog doesn't like it, But if it does, you'll have a great time with them. Best $3 I could spend

Cute Toy
Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 6"
Actually got this for my lovebird. At first she hated it, so I gave it the name “Creepy Roomate”. Then she ripped its eyes out and now she sleeps on him. So, it’s a hit. As a sidenote, bought her another one. She tore it to shreds. I guess there is only one “Creepy Roomate”. :)

My dog’s favorite soft toy!
Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 12", Style: Plush Surprise Color, Size: 12"
My dog loves these toys! We will get a replacement for him every couple months or so because these are his favorite. The squeaker is his arch nemesis and it’s always his main priority to get that first. The material is very soft so he likes to lightly chew on it when he gets anxious or excited, only negative is that it does tear easy but there’s not a lot of stuffing so it’s not a big mess to clean. Definitely recommend to puppies and dogs that don’t annihilated their toys.
