About this product

Product Information

Called the work of a mesmerizing storyteller with deep compassion and memorable prose ( Publishers Weekly ) and the book that, anyone interested in natural history, botany, protecting nature, or Native American culture will love, by Library Journal, Braiding Sweetgrass is poised to be a classic of nature writing. As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer asks questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces indigenous teachings that consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers. Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise (Elizabeth Gilbert). Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices.

Awesome review of Mother Nature's maternity.
Coupled with the author's well researched doctorate degree is her beautiful Native American cultural metaphor for the science she has so obviously mastered. Weaving into that science a beautiful spirituality, the completed basket contains a bouquet of holistic richness to blush even the weathered cheeks of Eliza Doolittle.

Wonderful book!
This book has drawn me into stories that weave into a feeling of comfort and belonging. It reminds me of the days I spent gardening with my father and grandfather. I would recommend this book. This is a spiral bound copy, so if you want to keep it for the next generation, I would get a hardcover, if available.

"Braiding" an enlightened path.
Robin Wall Kimmerer is an amazing writer. She weaves together her background in botany with her Native American heritage and stories to create a poetic look at the state of the human condition and our current relationship with the natural world. She seeks to light again the path that would allow humankind to find its spiritual connection to the greater good as taught by honoring and being grateful to the gifts of our world.

Braiding Sweetgrass is a holy book to those trying to feel their way home.
Braiding Sweetgrass is a holy book to those trying to feel their way home, to understand our belonging to this Earth. In Robin, you find an eloquent voice of mourning that follows destruction of the sacred and recovery/reconciliation that is possible if we decide to learn from our plant relatives. You will likely cry and at the end, you will hope. I adore this book as a factual peek to ethnobotany as well as a fine work of literature and cannot recommend it highly enough. I am about to buy her other book, Gathering Moss.

A must read for everyone
As an avid reader my entire lifetime, I am putting Robin Wall Kimmerer's book into my top five. The reason is both deeply personal and objectively intellectual, as the subject matter is indigenous wisdom (I am not indigenous) coupled with an over-arching message concerning our human relationship with plants and this planet. I am very much in awe of, and humbled by, this treasure of a book.
