Books Descriptions
As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer as been trained to ask questions of nature
with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she
embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding
Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these lenses of knowledge together to show that
the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the
acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of
the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings are
we capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learning to give
our own gifts in return.
