A different view of the night

Richard Newman's Photography at Night is more for inspiration and motivation than it is technical. Unlike several other night photography books, it shows that interesting pictures can be made at night with black, and that there's more to shoot at night than skylines and lighted architectural studies. By far the most important part of the book is Chapter 4, the Assignment section. It inpsires you to get out into the field or street and try various techiques and subjects such as street photography, fire, high contrast using ortho film, silhouettes and strong backlighting, and others. The portfolio section at the front also is interesting to study. This book would be an excellent companion volumn to one of the several night photography introductions on the market. "The Complete Guide to Night & Low Light Photography" by Lee Frost and "Capturing the Night with Your Camera" are two excellent works that present the nuts and bolts of night photography in great detail. Not much about digital in either, however, if you are looking for something that goes into that.
