Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. 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. This is a set of pieces that Kimmerer seems to have written over a period of 15-20 years. Individually they range from heart-tugging, to enraging, to wonder-inspiring, to thought-provoking. Collectively, they are all exceptionally well written. Once I re-read this (as I almost certainly will), I will change the rating to 5 stars. [Audiobook note: Kimmerer, herself, narrates the book. This was an excellent decision on the part of the producers. Her delivery is every bit as good as her writing.] (Second-reading note: still great. Maybe even better.) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowing together to reveal what it means to see humans as "the younger brothers of creation." As she explores these themes, she circles toward a central argument: The awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgement and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the world. Once we begin to listen for the languages of other beings, we can begin to understand the innumerable life-giving gifts the world provides us and learn to offer our thanks, our care, and our own gifts in return.
