'Kimmerer blends, with deep attentiveness and musicality, science
and personal insights to tell the overlooked story of the planet's
oldest plants' Guardian 'Bewitching ... a masterwork ... a
glittering read in its entirety' Maria Popova, Brainpickings Living
at the limits of our ordinary perception, mosses are a common but
largely unnoticed element of the natural world. Gathering Moss is a
beautifully written mix of science and personal reflection that
invites readers to explore and learn from the elegantly simple
lives of mosses. In these interwoven essays, Robin Wall Kimmerer
leads general readers and scientists alike to an understanding of
how mosses live and how their lives are intertwined with the lives
of countless other beings. Kimmerer explains the biology of mosses
clearly and artfully, while at the same time reflecting on what
these fascinating organisms have to teach us. Drawing on her
experiences as a scientist, a mother, and a Native American,
Kimmerer explains the stories of mosses in scientific terms as well
as within the framework of indigenous ways of knowing. In her book,
the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a
powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world.
