Wait, sorry. There are two books with similar titles. "The Light of Other Days" is by Stephen Baxter and Arthur C. Clarke. "Light of Other Days" is indeed by Bob Shaw. I have not read the latter. The former deals with a new technology which allows people to see in to the past via microscopic "wormholes".
