Brief Description:
“As a leading researcher in the field of biology, Robin Wall Kimmerer
understands the delicate state of our world. But as an active member of the
Potawatomi nation, she senses and relates to the world through a way of
knowing far older than any science. In Braiding Sweetgrass, she intertwines
these two modes of awareness–the analytic and the emotional, the
scientific and the cultural–to ultimately reveal a path toward healing the
rift that grows between people and nature. The woven essays that construct
this book bring people back into conversation with all that is green and
growing; a universe that never stopped speaking to us, even when we forgot
how to listen”–
