Phosphorescence: On Awe, Wonder and Things That Sustain You When the World Goes Dark by Julia Baird

2.0

---

I wanted more science and less self-indulgence.

It would have been possible for this book to be about phosphorescence/bioluminescence in its various forms as metaphors for hope in dark times. Beauty from decay, communication across distances, creating in ourselves what we need - the analogies are there to explore, even if it retained the memoir format.

Alas, I was disappointed.
