Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants [B0743]

2020 HC collectible Milkwood anniversary edition with minor smudges on its linen cover and wonderfully clean text pages. Updated with a new introduction from Robin Wall Kimmerer, the special edition of Braiding Sweetgrass, reissued in honor of the fortieth anniversary of Milkweed Editions, celebrates the book as an object of meaning that will last the ages. Beautifully bound in stamped linen cloth with a bookmark ribbon and a deckled edge, this edition features five brilliantly colored illustrations by artist Nate Christopherson. In increasingly dark times, we honor the experience that more than 350,000 readers in North America have cherished about the book--gentle, simple, tactile, beautiful, even sacred--and offer an edition that will inspire readers to gift it again and again, spreading the word about scientific knowledge, indigenous wisdom, and the teachings of plants. "I give daily thanks for Robin Wall Kimmerer for being a font of endless knowledge, both mental and spiritual." --RICHARD POWERS, NEW YORK TIMES.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "What a book to read when you're at a crossroads/in a time of change--just humming with potential. Definitely shifted my thinking re: the possibilities for humans to be in right relation to nature/have a positive impact."; "A reflection on culture, plant knowledge, and a way into the future that honors the past instead of obliterating it. Wish there were more books like it."; "Robin Wall Kimmerer is such a beautiful and insightful writer and storyteller. It took me a long time to finish this book because each of the essays are so rich and woven with metaphor that it made me slow down and digest a little at a time instead of just quickly consuming the material. A breathtaking and meaningful work of art and perspective on our relationship to the natural world."; "Really beautiful, restorative reading."
