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.

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

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!
