The amazing phenomenon of bioluminescence comes to life with vivid illustrations by medical illustrator Jennifer N.R. Smith.

The natural world is an inexhaustible source of wonders, and the phenomenon of bioluminescence is no exception. Light explores the remarkable way in which animals and plants produce their own light and shine in the dark, as well as what we can learn from their astonishing glowing abilities. Written and designed with every detail, it takes readers deep into the oceans, through dark caves, and into the darkest corners of the forest.

Combining natural history with sciences, Light studies how bioluminescence works and what we can learn from it, including ways to combat climate change and reduce pollution on the planet.

It is printed using ultraviolet printing techniques, and the illustrations appear to glow on the page, creating a truly stunning reading experience.
