Dark Skies

Bummed about this read. Was it my own fault for misunderstanding the description of the book? Sure, perhaps. I fully anticipated that this book had an autobiographical component in the sense that the book wold utilize the author's first-hand experiences out in the world exploring nightscapes and dark skies, and I even looked forward to this, thinking it would be used in conjunction with and to support how “our relationship with darkness and the night sky changed over time” (from the description). What I didn't anticipate was how much of these stories were going to have tenuous tangential connections to nightscapes and dark skies with some historical and folk-lore information mixed in, many passages of which had a brief passing connection to night or darkness.
The disjunct writing style of moving to a new topic for a few paragraphs or an anecdotal story and then suddenly returning to the previous one made it difficult for me to stay engaged, as well.
Giving this two stars instead of one for the handful of passages that had some interesting folklore or historical information.
