Robin Wall Kimmerer

In this sublime collection of essays, Kimmerer deftly weaves together the strands of her perspectives as a scientist, indigenous woman, and mother on nature, narrative, and reciprocal relationships. Her descriptions of our fellow living relations on Earth often brought me to tears of grief and gratitude. If you are interested in our responsibility as humans to be stewards of the environment—or need to cultivate hope for an Earth where we learn to honor and interweave traditional knowledge and scientific thought for a sustainable future—please, please read this nourishing work!
