May Not Fiction Book Discussion

Jenny Odell, author of last month's book, How to Do Nothing, acknowledges the influence of this month's book, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer, to her own thinking about the power of our attention. Kimmerer, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor of Environmental Biology and the founder and director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment, brings together these two points of view, the scientific and the reverential, to awaken our ecological consciousness. With a lyrical blend of precise detail and engaging storytelling, Kimmerer helps us to see the world around us with new eyes.
