Life in the Boundary Layer: The Natural and Cultural History of Mosses
14.99 €
Dwelling on the edges of our normal perception, mosses are a common but inconspicuous element of the natural world. We only rarely notice them in the cracks of urban asphalt, on tree trunks, or on the surface of rocks. Bryologist Robin Wall Kimmerer's book is neither an identification guide nor a scientific treatise. Rather, it is a series of linked personal essays about the lives of mosses intertwined with those of countless other creatures, from salmon and hummingbirds to fungi, bacteria, and country vegetable gardeners. Kimmerer explains the biology of mosses in a fascinating way, while reflecting on what these amazing organisms can teach us. Drawing on her varied experiences as a scientist, a mother, a Native American woman, and a professional observer accustomed to looking closely to see something important, Robin Wall Kimmerer tells the diverse stories of mosses in scientific terms, but also within the ways of knowing characteristic of aboriginal Indian tribes. In her book, the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world.
