Description

Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer Robin Wall Kimmerer, a botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, brings together two lenses of knowledge to explore our relationship with the natural world. Drawing on her life as a scientist, mother, and woman, she reflects on the gifts and lessons offered by the plants and animals that share our world. In this rich and thought-provoking book, Kimmerer explores the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of acknowledging and celebrating our reciprocal relationship with the earth. Through a series of reflections that range from the creation of the world to the challenges facing its flourishing today, she argues that awakening a wider ecological consciousness requires us to listen to the languages of other beings. By exploring the teachings of plants and animals, Kimmerer shows us the generosity of the earth and the importance of giving our own gifts in return. This is a powerful and thought-provoking book that invites us to consider our place within the natural world.
