The human race evolved under the sun, and for thousands of years lived in harmony with its heat and light. Yet over the last fifty years we have lost this close contact with the sun and its healing powers. We have become afraid of it. However the sun is central to our well being and health.

This book explains how and why we should welcome sunlight back into our lives safely! It shows how sunlight was used to prevent and cure diseases in the past, and how it can heal us and help us in the future.

The profoundly positive effect that light has on both the immune system and a person's emotional stability is examined in this informative reference that pays particular attention to naturally lit interior spaces. Although architects and physicians in the ancient world recognized that the light levels necessary to promote well-being were much higher than those required for vision, the knowledge seems to have been lost from regular practice. Bringing together historical evidence, traditional wisdom, and the latest scientific findings, this comprehensive reference explains how to use light -- especially sunlight -- to promote health in architecture and enclosed environments.
