4.50 - Amazing
A wonderfully miniaturised and remarkably contemplative book. Changed how I perceived nature and the world but assumes the reader has basic knowledge of plant biology. Enchanting and lyrical writing style incorporates scientific material alongside poetry. Places meaningful values in empirical evidence and traditional wisdom. Creates a holistic understanding that feels both ancient and cutting-edge. Personal anecdotes woven throughout the text create an emotional connection and inspire participation. Detailed explanations of moss biology and ecology are accessible without being oversimplified. Fascinating reproductive strategies and survival mechanisms. Transforms often overlooked organisms into subjects of wonder and appreciation. Recommended for those looking for a light read that defies genre.

”Intimacy gives us a different way of seeing, when visual acuity is not enough.”
P.S. I began to notice and value the small, persistent life forms. I appreciated mosses as teachers of resilience, adaptation, and interconnection. This book left a profound impact on me and invigorated a new attentiveness to the ordinary.

I love mosses so much
Precious little things <3
Take a lot of relevant scientific information about mosses, add personal stories and discoveries, mix it with the insight and observations of the devoted and curious mind of Robin Wall Kimmerer and finally, infuse it with precious indigenous knowledge with its deep respect and reciprocity. And there you go : you'll have this incredible book.
