A beautiful book about mosses and life

A wonderful book full of insights into the lesser-known world of bryology, expressed in captivating, passionate and sometimes heart-breaking anecdotes.

I found Robin’s writings as a Native American and indigenous teacher incredibly interesting - she writes about the Native American relationship with plants and nature, and her research into the roles mosses have played in Native American life.

This book also made me buy a hand lens and spend a significant amount of time invading the personal life of my plants and their inhabitants.
