À propos de cet audio

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 listeners to explore and learn from the elegantly simple lives of mosses.

Robin Wall Kimmerer's audiobook is not an identification guide, nor is it a scientific treatise. Rather, it is a series of linked personal essays that will lead general listeners and scientists alike to an understanding of how mosses live and how their lives are intertwined with the lives of countless other beings, from salmon and hummingbirds to redwoods and rednecks. Kimmerer clearly and artfully explains the biology of mosses, while at the same time reflecting on what these fascinating organisms have to teach us.

Drawing on her diverse experiences as a scientist, mother, teacher, and writer of Native American heritage, Kimmerer explains the stories of mosses in scientific terms as well as in the framework of indigenous ways of knowing. In her audiobook, the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world.

One of the best I’ve listened to in a long time; I learned a lot about mosses and their influence. I will be getting her more recent book next

Great listen

Moss is an interesting plant, and this collection of essays does a very good job at exploring it in its variety and tenacity. These essays are easy to follow and raised my appreciation of a lowly plant in all its strengths. Well done!

A very good essay collection

Really loved the book, the day I was finishing I found out that the author gave a guest lecture at my university over Zoom the previous day. Can't believe I missed it

Listened to this after Braiding Sweetgrass because I love her voice and the way she says things are so beautifully poetic. Gathering Moss brought me into a world I absolutely loved. She brought light to things I never knew existed. Completely magical.

This book is classic Kimmerer, which is a genre of its own. Relative to braiding sweet grass, I really liked that this piece was a bit shorter and more succinct. It helped me track some of the bigger themes throughout the book.

Beautiful content, beautifully told

This is a fantastic series of essays on moss. Kimmerer brings her mixed Indigenous and Western perspectives to bear on a much overlooked and underestimated plant. She does a great job of narration for her own writing.

Beautiful Tribute to Mosses

I have always been a nature lover, and know all about trees, wildflowers, rocks, animal tracks, bird calls.... I even have a field guide on aquatic plants. How could I have known so little about mosses? They are the main focus of so many of my photographs! I can't wait to get a guide and start identifying them and learning more. I am thoroughly hooked.

An awesome look into the secret lives of mosses

I have listened to this author’s other book, “Braiding Sweetgrass” as well as this one. She has a wonderful narrator’s voice and both books are sprinkled with nuggets that betray her biologist’s lens. Highly recommended if you have a love for the natural world.

Very enjoyable

Robin's voice is so soothing and her words pull you into a woodland dream, reminding us to the magnitude of tiny things all around us. She captivates the senses and interweaves the science and magic of nature just perfectly.
