It was a wonderful night, such a night as is only possible when we are young, dear reader. The sky was so starry, so bright that, looking at it, one could not help asking oneself whether ill-humoured and capricious people could live under such a sky. That is a youthful question too, dear reader, very youthful, but may the Lord put it more frequently into your heart!... Speaking of capricious and ill-humoured people, I cannot help recalling my moral condition all that day. From early morning I had been oppressed by a strange despondency. It suddenly seemed to me that I was lonely, that every one was forsaking me and going away from me. Of course, any one is entitled to ask who "every one" was.

El extraordinario debut literario de Robin Wall Kimmerer, autora del bestseller internacional Una trenza de hierba sagrada Viviendo en los límites de nuestra percepción ordinaria, los musgos son un elemento común del mundo natural, que sin embargo suele pasar desapercibido. Reserva de musgo es una fascinante mezcla de ciencia y reflexión personal que invita a los lectores a explorar y aprender de la vida elegante y sencilla de los musgos. En esta serie de ensayos personales encadenados entre sí, Robin Wall Kimmerer acompaña a sus lectores a comprender cómo viven los musgos y cómo sus vidas se entrelanzan con las de innumerables seres en el mundo natural, entre ellos, los seres humano. Con la precisión científica de su formación como botánica, Kimmerer explica la biología de los musgos con claridad y profundidad, al tiempo que, desde su experiencia como madre, maestra y mujer indígena, nos invita a reflexionar sobre lo que estos fascinantes y humildes organismos tienen para enseñarnos. Una historia natural y cultural que se convierte en una poderosa metáfora que nos ilumina otras maneras en las que podemos existir en el mundo. ——— The acclaimed literary debut of Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of the New York Times bestseller Braiding Sweetgrass. 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.

...Kažete li im: "Dokaz da je mali princ postojao jeste to što je bio divan, što se smejao, što je želeo ovcu. Kad čovek želi ovcu, to je dokaz da postoji", oni će slegnuti ramenima i smatraće vas detetom! Međutim, ukoliko im saopštite: "Planeta s koje je došao mali princ jeste asteroid B612", biće zadovoljni i neće vam više dosađivati pitanjima. Takvi su oni. Ne valja se zato na njih ljutiti. Deca moraju mnogo toga da praštaju odraslima. U svom kratkom letu od asteroida B612 do čudne i njemu strane planete Zemlje mali princ otkriva nekoliko drugih planeta i njihovih stanovnika. Svi su oni uobraženi i samoživi i bez ikakve ljubavi ili razumevanja obavljaju poslove koji malom princu izgledaju kao da su potpuno besmisleni i beskorisni. Iz duhovne pustinje takvih svetova mali princ se spušta na Zemlju, gde naizgled slučajno pada u stvarnu pustinju - Saharu. Na toj Zemlji bez ljudi on malo-pomalo spoznaje da su rad, prijateljstvo i ljubav vrednosti bez kojih čovek ne može da živi.
