About Braiding Sweetgrass
Braiding Sweetgrass is a profound and widely celebrated work that beautifully intertwines scientific understanding with traditional ecological knowledge and Indigenous American philosophy. Written by Robin Wall Kimmerer, who is both a distinguished professor of environmental biology and an enrolled member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, the book invites readers to consider new ways of engaging with the natural world. It delves into subjects such as plant ecology, botany, and the wisdom inherent in ancient practices and relationships with the Earth.
The decision for Kimmerer to narrate her own audiobook allows listeners to experience the text with her authentic voice and emphasis, providing an even deeper connection to the rich themes and narratives within the book. The book is presented in English, and its evocative cover art was created by Gretchen Achilles.
