    Let There Be Light
    My Life Among Giants, Monarchs and Mobsters in the World of Architectural Lighting

It is one man’s tough, honest, and thoroughly American success story, followed by the stories of his most distinguished colleagues in a special art /craft/industry whose practitioners “push back the darkness” in unique and dazzling ways.
