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 readers to explore and learn from the elegantly simple lives of mosses.Robin Wall Kimmerer's book is not an identification guide, nor is it a scientific treatise. Rather, it is a series of linked personal essays that will lead general readers 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 book, the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world.Gathering Moss will appeal to a wide range of readers, from bryologists to those interested in natural history and the environment, Native Americans, and contemporary nature and science writing.
作者简介

Robin Wall Kimmerer is an Associate Professor on the faculty of Environmental and Forest Biology at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. "Gathering Moss" is her first book.
Looking at mosses adds a depth and intimacy to knowing the forest. Walking in the woods,and discerning the presence of a species from fifty paces away, just by its color,connects me strongly to the place. That certain green, the way it catches the light, gives away its identity,like recognizing the walk of a friend before you can see their face. Just as you can pick out the voice of a loved one in the tumult of a noisy room, or spot your child's smile in a sea of faces, intimate connection allows recognition in an all-too-often anonymous world. This sense of connection arise from a special kind discrimination, a search image that comes from a long time spent looking and listen. Intimacy gives us a different way of seeing, when visual acuity is not enough. (查看原文)

没想到2021年读完的第一本书竟然是这本，学者口中给平凡人的苔藓入门书。所谓低等植物一样有丰富而多样的世界。 看到最后那些对生命毫无敬意的伐木，苔藓收割，乃至锯石挪窝，造成几十年甚至永久的生态伤害，人类啊…

值得反复读几遍的博物佳作。可以当作科学散文，或者自然文学。全书19篇，几乎每一篇都有故事，很精彩。作者的世界观是敞开的，本土知识，科学方法，甚至神秘主义，都在她那里融汇，而且和平共处。目的只有一个：请人们看到自然的美，爱自然。

也不算什么社科读物吧，更多像是散文/博物式的苔藓介绍，一种不起眼却富有生命力肆意生长的植物。

And if mosses dream,I suspect they dream of rain.
