Rezensionen
Reserva de Musgo von Robin Wall Kimmerer
Viviendo en los límites de nuestra percepción ordinaria, los musgos son un elemento común, pero en gran medida desapercibido del mundo natural. ‘Reserva de musgo' es una hermosa mezcla de ciencia y reflexión personal que invita a los lectores a explorar y aprender de la vida elegantemente sencilla de los musgos. En esta serie de ensayos personales relacionados, Robin Wall Kimmerer lleva a lectores generales y científicos por igual a comprender cómo viven los musgos y cómo sus vidas se entrelazan con las de innumerables seres. Kimmerer explica la biología de los musgos con claridad y arte, al tiempo que reflexiona sobre lo que estos fascinantes organismos tienen que enseñarnos. Basándose en sus diversas experiencias como científica, madre, profesora y escritora de ascendencia indígena americana, Kimmerer explica las historias de los musgos en términos científicos, así como en el marco de las formas de conocimiento indígenas.… (mehr)

"Gratitude plants the seed for abundance."
2024 book #20. 2013. The author is an indigenous woman and a college-level biology teacher. She interweaves stories from her culture about the natural world and her training as a scientist and how she tries to be respectful to nature as her culture has taught her. Good read. Read for my book club.
I don't know how to feel about this book. The time I spent reading it was definitely enjoyable and full of learning, and I've been recommending it to people left and right. Still, when I wasn't reading it, I didn't really think about it, and times when I was bored and had nothing to do, this book didn't pop into my head. I'd give it 3.5 if that were possible.
