À propos de cet audio
As a botanist and professor of plant ecology, Robin Wall Kimmerer has spent a career learning how to ask questions of nature using the tools of science. As a Potawatomi woman, she learned from elders, family, and history that the Potawatomi, as well as a majority of other cultures indigenous to this land, consider plants and animals to be our oldest teachers.
In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowing together to reveal what it means to see humans as "the younger brothers of creation". As she explores these themes, she circles toward a central argument: The awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgement and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the world. Once we begin to listen for the languages of other beings, we can begin to understand the innumerable life-giving gifts the world provides us and learn to offer our thanks, our care, and our own gifts in return.

As Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 16
Science is a force for good in the world—at least usually. But sometimes, when obsession gets the better of scientists, they twist a noble pursuit into something sinister. Under this spell, knowledge isn’t everything, it’s the only thing—no matter the cost. Bestselling author Sam Kean tells the true story of what happens when unfettered ambition pushes otherwise rational men and women to cross the line in the name of science, trampling ethical boundaries and often committing crimes in the process.

Samantha Irby’s career has taken her to new heights. She dodges calls from Hollywood and flop sweats on the red carpet at premieres (well, one premiere). But nothing is ever as it seems online, where she can crop out all the ugly parts. Irby got a lot of weird emails about Carrie Bradshaw, and not only is there diarrhea to avoid, but now—anaphylactic shock. She is turned away from restaurants for being inappropriately dressed and looks for the best ways to cope, i.e., reveling in the offerings of QVC and adopting a deranged pandemic dog.

The plague that devastated Asia and Europe in the 14th century has been of never-ending interest to both scholars and the general public. Many books on the plague rely on statistics to tell the story. In The Great Mortality, author John Kelly lends an air of immediacy and intimacy to his telling of the journey of the plague as it traveled from the steppes of Russia, across Europe, and into England, killing 75 million people—one third of the known population—before it vanished.

The Indian Act, after 141 years, continues to shape, control, and constrain the lives and opportunities of Indigenous peoples, and is at the root of many lasting stereotypes.

An intense conversation, a spat with a partner, or even an obnoxious tweet - these situations aren't life-or-death, yet we often react as if they are. That's because our bodies treat most perceived threats the same way. Yet one approach has proven to be incredibly effective in training our nervous system to stop overreacting: polyvagal theory. In Anchored, expert teacher Deb Dana shares a down-to-earth presentation of polyvagal theory, then brings the science to life with practical, everyday ways to transform your relationship with your body.

The Inconvenient Indian is at once a “history” and the complete subversion of a history - in short, a critical and personal meditation that the remarkable Thomas King has conducted over the past 50 years about what it means to be “Indian” in North America. Rich with dark and light, pain and magic, this book distills the insights gleaned from that meditation, weaving the curiously circular tale of the relationship between non-Natives and Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other.

An essential work that centers colonial and historical trauma in a framework for healing, Decolonizing Therapy illuminates that all therapy is—and always has been—inherently political. To better understand the mental health oppression and institutional violence that exists today, we must become familiar with the root of disembodiment from our histories, homelands, and healing practices. Only then will listeners see how colonial, historical, and intergenerational legacies have always played a role in the treatment of mental health.

This was the perfect audio book. The author/narrator has such incredible insight, wisdom, knowledge and perspective to share. And listening to her voice share her words was beyond beautiful. If I had to use just one word to describe this audio book, I would choose " healing".

This.
This book is transformational, essential, change making and profound. I don't have enough words to share with the world about this incredible piece of writing. It has changed my life: how I view and interact with nature, my own life and all my relations. Kimmerer's soothing voice is poetic, calming and deeply wise. Even though I have read the book and listened to it many times, it also is my grounding tool, my sleeping aid and anxiety relief. This is by far the one book I can't live without. You need to read this and notice how Kimmerer's wisdom impacts you. I doubt anyone can read this without being forever changed.

Beautiful Lyrical story for everyone
Robin tells her story in a beautifully lyrical way. I don't think I could appreciate the book as much in print as I do audio. Audio has the essence of Robin's indigenous oral tradition. The book is easy to follow for everyone and enriching for both ecologist and non-ecologist. A great book.

Like a Magnet
Like a Magnet, this book drew me in. Listening to Robin narrate her own writing enhanced a personal and sensitive element to her reflections. The organization of chapters with separate themes allowed me to read each in time, reflecting on the many perspectives that Robin focuses on. Gracefully presented and thoughtfully organized, this book is a beauty. Its messages will stay with me for a lifetime.

if you're human, read this book
narrated with heart, beauty AND science Braiding Sweetgrass is both a heart warming and heart breaking narrative of humanity and land/land use. Although I am Canadian and of a completely different nation with different language, I found so much symmetry in the teachings expressed in this book and similar experiences in the loss of connection to landamd beings. Such an important book in this time of global change.
