Über diesen Titel

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.

The most beautiful audio book I've ever listened to. Robin just speaks my heart and soul. Every one should listen to this, then, maybe, just maybe, it's won't be too late for our good Mother Earth.

A must listen to!

this book touched me deeply and awoke in me a yearning to go back to a home that I never knew and that there's no memory of. The pace, the storytelling, the almost lyrical writing, as well as a gorgeous narration made me want to start the book from the beginning as soon as I finished it. I've already bought the hard copy to gift to my mother as well. Thank you!
