SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Club Discussion (November)
DESCRIPTION:“I give daily thanks for Robin Wall Kimmerer for being a font
  of endless knowledge\, both mental and spiritual.” —RICHARD POWERS\, NE
 W YORK TIMES A New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Bestseller Na
 med a "Best Essay Collection of the Decade" by Literary Hub As a botanis
 t\, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with
  the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation\, sh
 e embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. I
 n Braiding Sweetgrass\, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge to
 gether to take us on “a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is sci
 entific\, as sacred as it is historical\, as clever as it is wise” (Eliz
 abeth Gilbert). Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist\, and as 
 a woman\, Kimmerer shows how other living beings—asters and goldenrod\, 
 strawberries and squash\, salamanders\, algae\, and sweetgrass—offer us 
 gifts and lessons\, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In
  reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces
  that threaten its flourishing today\, she circles toward a central argu
 ment: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknow
 ledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of
  the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other bein
 gs will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth\, and
  learn to give our own gifts in return. A New York Times 100 Best Books
