"As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science.

In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take us on "a journey that is every bit as mythic as it is scientific, as sacred as it is historical, as clever as it is wise.""--
