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.

Our naked eyes see only a thin sliver of reality. We are blind in comparison to the X-rays that peer through skin, the mass spectrometers that detect the dead inside the living, or the high-tech surveillance systems that see with artificial intelligence. And we are blind compared to the animals that can see in infrared, or ultraviolet, or in 360-degree vision. These animals live in the same world we do, but they see something quite different when they look around.

Smartly dressed and smiling, Canada’s black train porters were a familiar sight to the average passenger - yet their minority status rendered them politically invisible, second-class in the social imagination that determined who was and who was not considered Canadian. Drawing on the experiences of these influential black Canadians, Cecil Foster’s They Call Me George demonstrates the power of individuals and minority groups in the fight for social justice and shows how a country can change for the better.

DisneyWar is an enthralling tale of one of America's most powerful media and entertainment companies, the people who control it, and those trying to overthrow them. It tells a story that - in its sudden twists, vivid, larger-than-life characters, and thrilling climax - might itself have been the subject of a Disney classic - except that it's all true.

As one of the most potent turning points in the country's modern history, the Opium War has since come to stand for everything that today's China seeks to put behind it. In this dramatic, epic story, award-winning historian Stephen Platt sheds new light on the early attempts by Western traders and missionaries to "open" China even as China's imperial rulers were struggling to manage their country's decline and Confucian scholars grappled with how to use foreign trade to China's advantage.

A very good essay collection
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!

She's an Angel
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.

Beautiful content, beautifully told
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 Tribute to Mosses
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.

An awesome look into the secret lives of 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.
