To participate: Register on the Library’s Event Calendar. Attendance is limited. Or go directly to https://forms.gle/ajVuoyeLYA9v1YaF7 Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer In this illuminating and timely book, SUNY Professor Robin Kimmerer shows how other earthly beingswhether animal, vegetable, or fungal offer us gifts and lessons that too many of us have forgotten how to accept. Her rich reflectio...ns build a central argument: Awakening a wider ecological consciousness requires acknowledging and celebrating our relationship with the rest of the living world. As a plant ecologist, Kimmerer is fluent in Western science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces plants and animals as our oldest teachers. In this highly praised book, Kimmerer takes 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 (Elizabeth Gilbert). The Eureka Library has a supply of books and offers downloadable eBooks. This book club is sponsored by UCCE Master Gardeners of Humboldt and Del Norte Counties in partnership with the Eureka Main Library. Discussions are scheduled every two months and we hope you can join us for any books that interest you. See more
