The Magic of Moss and What it Teaches Us
In Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses,
world-renowned botanist/bryologist Robin Wall Kimmerer invites us to
contemplate the mystery and meaning of life as viewed through her study
of one of the world's oldest plant species. This illuminating,
award-winning volume of essays weaves scientific and personal
observation into a lyrical tapestry that celebrates the power of
attentiveness in revealing the sparkle and splendor of the natural
world. Rooted in the deep and abiding respect for all living things of
her Native American heritage, Kimmerer's observations remind us that
when we remain open to the possibility of what the smallest
manifestations of life may reveal, we receive the gift of infinite
beauty and wonder. Explore the fascinating, magical world and
work of Robin Wall Kimmerer with exceptional chronicler of existence,
Maria Popova.
