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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"pc-book-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 456 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 x 9 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\/Distributor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ingram Books\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781571311771\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robin Wall Kimmerer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ingram Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67857279385845,"sku":"IPS259","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/2198\/0149\/files\/IPS259_104.jpg?v=1793861208","url":"https:\/\/paracay.com\/products\/braiding-sweetgrass-indigenous-wisdom-scientific-knowledge-and-the-teachings-of-plants","provider":"Paradise Cay Publications, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
