Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plant - Robin Wall Kimmerer

This book is our #5 2023 bestseller. We carry hundreds of amazing books about science and nature, but what is unique to this one, and what attracts so many readers, is the deep, profound indigenous wisdom that permeates every page. Robin Wall Kimmerer is a scientist specializing in moss, and a conservationist who has worked on dozens of fascinating and inspiring efforts to protect and restore the environment. She also has a strong connection to her Potawatomi roots. “Braiding Sweetgrass” explores the natural world, particularly botany, through the lens of traditional teachings. And readers come away not just with new science insights, but also life-changing lessons in reciprocity, connection, consciousness, and our purpose and place in this unsettling modern world.
