Braiding Sweetgrass (2013) by Robin Wall Kimmerer
Published in 2013 Braiding Sweetgrass became a New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times best seller. At this moment of societal anxiety around a growing sense that the way we live on earth needs to change, Kimmerer’s ideas about how to repair humanity’s broken relationship with the natural world have spread far, a word-of-mouth phenomenon that has been published in more than 20 languages. Robin Wall Kimmerer, scientist and enrolled member of the Citizen Potowatomi Nation, is a Distinguished Professor of Environmental Biology, and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment SUNY.
Copies of Braiding Sweetgrass will be available at the Reference Desk.
