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.

As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. In Braiding Sweetgrass , Kimmerer brings these two lenses of knowledge together to take 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). Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, and as a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings—asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass—offer us gifts and lessons, even if we've forgotten how to hear their voices. In reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C3506542</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C3506542</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kimmerer, Robin Wall]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3506542143</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781571318718/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Goldfinches]]></title><description><![CDATA[A celebration of the natural world through the observation of goldfinches.]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4641578</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4641578</guid><category><![CDATA[PICTURE_BOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Oliver, Mary]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4641578143</comments><format>PICTURE_BOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593692417/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1528065891</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't Trust Fish]]></title><description><![CDATA[Why, dear reader, must you NEVER EVER trust fish? 1) They spend all their time in the water where we can't see them. 2) Some are as big as a bus--that is not okay. 3) We don't know what they're teaching in their "schools." 4) They are likely plotting our doom.

In search of peace, Tan turned toward the natural world just beyond her window and, specifically, the birds flocking to the feeders in her yard. But what began as an attempt to find solace turned into something far greater--an opportunity to savor quiet moments during a volatile time, connect to nature in a meaningful way, and imagine the intricate lives of the birds she admired. Tracking the natural beauty that surrounds us, The Backyard Bird Chronicles maps the passage of time--from before the pandemic to the days of quarantine--through daily entries, thoughtful questions, and beautiful original sketches.

They are not distant deities, but the ordinary, often overlooked presences - animal, plant, memory, moment - that reveal our shared vulnerability and interconnectedness with the natural world. The Glorians can be as small as an ant ferrying a coyote willow blossom to its queen or as commonplace as the night sky. But when they can collectively show us - about the radical art of attending to beauty and carrying forward against all odds - is immense. Journeying through encounters with the Glorians from the red rock desert of Utah during the pandemic to Harvard University where she teaches at the Divinity School, Williams weaves a story of astonishing personal and societal insight. As she grapples with the unsettled state of the world, she turns not to despair but to deep reflection. She sees how the Glorians are calling us to attention, not as an army, but as fellow inhabitants of our sacred, threatened home. They remind us of the power of contact between species and the profound courage - and awareness - it will take to dream a more cohesive future into being. Wise and lyrical, The Glorians is a testament to the power of witness. Terry Tempest Williams offers honest sustenance to the mind and spirit and distinguishes herself again as a trusted voice to whom we can turn, to more fully understand our times.]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4640596</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4640596</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Williams, Terry Tempest]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4640596143</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Visitations From the Holy Ordinary</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780802165848/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1520196979</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Overstory]]></title><description><![CDATA[An Air Force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan.

But in a world where our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity . . . doing nothing may be our most important form of resistance. So argues artist and critic Jenny Odell in this field guide to doing nothing (at least as capitalism defines it). Odell sees our attention as the most precious—and overdrawn—resource we have. Once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind's role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book is a four-course meal in the age of Soylent.]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C3554558</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C3554558</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Odell, Jenny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3554558143</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>Resisting the Attention Economy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781612197500/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Wolf Called Wander]]></title><description><![CDATA["A young wolf cub, separated from his pack, journeys 1000 miles across the Pacific Northwest, dealing with forest fires, hunters, highways, and hunger before finding a new home.

Is a River Alive? is a joyful, mind-expanding exploration of an ancient, urgent idea: that rivers are living beings who should be recognized as such in imagination and law. Macfarlane takes readers on three unforgettable journeys teeming with extraordinary people, stories, and places: to the miraculous cloud-forests and mountain streams of Ecuador, to the wounded creeks and lagoons of India, and to the spectacular wild rivers of Canada--imperiled respectively by mining, pollution, and dams. Braiding these journeys is the life story of the fragile chalk stream a mile from Macfarlane's house, a stream who flows through his own years and days. Powered by dazzling prose and lit throughout by other minds and voices, Is a River Alive? will open hearts, challenge perspectives, and remind us that our fate flows with that of rivers--and always has." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4523383</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S143C4523383</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Macfarlane, Robert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://wccls.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4523383143</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780393242133/MC.GIF&amp;client=wccls&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1518422158</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Butt or Face?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Are you ready for round two of the hilarious guessing game picture book?
