She contrasts this with the dominant economic system rooted in scarcity, competition, and resource hoarding. Kimmerer highlights how the serviceberry tree, by sharing its abundance with its ecosystem, embodies a model of interdependence and mutual support. This ethic of reciprocity, she argues, shows us that true wealth arises from relationships, not self-sufficiency, and encourages us to reimagine our values in a way that nurtures both people and the planet.]]></description><link>https://samepagewcrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C551572</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagewcrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C551572</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kimmerer, Robin Wall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagewcrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/551572195</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781420520026/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Serviceberry]]></title><description><![CDATA[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, interconnectedness, and gratitude.

Gathering moss is a mix of science and personal reflection that invites readers to explore and learn from the elegantly simple lives of mosses. In this series of linked personal essays, Robin Kimmerer leads general readers and scientists alike to an understanding of how mosses live and how their lives are intertwined with the lives of countless other beings. Kimmerer explains the biology of mosses clearly and artfully, while at the same time reflecting on what these fascinating organisms have to teach us. Drawing on her experiences as a scientist, a mother, and a Native American, Kimmerer explains the stories of mosses in scientific terms as well as in the framework of indigenous ways of knowing. In her book, the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world.]]></description><link>https://samepagewcrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C202968</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://samepagewcrl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S195C202968</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kimmerer, Robin Wall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://samepagewcrl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/202968195</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780870714993/MC.GIF&amp;client=parlns&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Braiding Sweetgrass]]></title><description><![CDATA[As a leading researcher in the field of biology, Robin Wall Kimmerer understands the delicate state of our world.

In Braiding Sweetgrass, she intertwines these two modes of awareness--the analytic and the emotional, the scientific and the cultural--to ultimately reveal a path toward healing the rift that grows between people and nature.

Wilson With a new foreword from Robin Wall Kimmerer, New York Times-bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass--and an afterword from Bill McKibben--this special 25th anniversary edition of a beloved bestseller invites readers to see ourselves as part of nature, not separate. The world is changing at a relentless pace. How can we slow down and act from a place of respect for all living things? The Sacred Balance shows us how. In this extensively updated new edition, David Suzuki reflects on the increasingly radical changes in science and nature--from the climate crisis to peak oil and the rise in clean energy--and examines what they mean for humankind. He also reflects on what we have learned by listening to Indigenous leaders, whose knowledge of the natural world is profound, and whose peoples are on the frontlines of protecting land and water around the world. Drawing on his own experiences and those of others who have put their beliefs into action, The Sacred Balance combines science, philosophy, spirituality, and Indigenous knowledge to offer concrete suggestions for creating an ecologically sustainable future by rediscovering and addressing humanity's basic needs.
