As a botanist \;and \;professor of plant ecology\, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to as k questions of nature using \;the \;tools of science. As a Potawat omi woman\, she learned from elders\, family\, \;and \;history tha t \;the \;Potawatomi\, as well as a majority of other cultures&nbs p\;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 o f a wider ecological consciousness requires \;the \;acknowledgemen t \;and \;celebration of our reciprocal relationship with \;th e \;world. Once we begin to listen for \;the \;languages of ot her beings\, we can begin to understand \;the \;innumerable life-g iving gifts \;the \;world provides us \;and \;learn to off er our thanks\, our care\, \;and \;our own gifts in return.--From the Publisher
