Was reading via audio book, not enough free time to make use of that medium.

I mostly listened to this via audiobook but wasn't properly paying attention. Will reread as a physical book sometime.

This book had wonderful information and dazzling prose but it didn’t grip me like her two later works did. 

Tardigrades forever!!!

whoa. this book is poetry about the science of moss. never knew such a topic could be so intriguing or written so beautifully.

This book gracefully details the magic that can be found in the small ecosystems of moss. These small ecosystems are surprisingly complex, and each one has a critical purpose in the ecosystem, despite its slow rate of growth and small size.

Robin also details many of the experiences she’s had as a bryologist, from shady landscaping fiascos where she tries to prevent extensive ecosystem damage, to the truth behind “real moss décor” and how much damage goes on behind the scenes from illegal “moss mining” in the pacific northwest.

Love the chapter on the fake ecological restoration and what possession means
