Published: March 23, 2021, 4:19 a.m.

After writing her best-selling book, Phosphorescence: On Awe, Wonder and Things That Sustain You When The World Goes Dark, Julia Baird said she hoped it would prove useful to \u201ca few people going through an \u2018In the Case of Emergency, Smash Glass\u2019 kind of moment.\u201d And then 2020 happened, and the world went dark for everyone. Part memoir, part cultural commentary, this intimate and inspiring book exhorts us to \u201creach for those tiny moments of stillness\u201d as we search for the light within.
