Written to send young people outdoors and into natural history, this survey covers the creatures that make their own light. Holder begins with the glowing plankton and jellies of the sea, moves to luminous starfish, shellfish, deep-sea fishes dredged by the Challenger and Albatross, then to cave dwellers, insects, fungi and the lights of land and air.
