Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer

4.0

I think I would rate this 3.5 stars. The advice to treat this book as a series of essays is good advice. I listened to this as an audiobook and it could be frustrating at times. I loved the themes Kimmerer talked about, we have similar world views and a deep love for nature, but her prose and I did not get along. It was too flowery at times. I really did appreciate Kimmerer's stories. They are a delight, I just wish there were slightly less descriptions because sometimes it felt like rambling. Overall this is a good book and listening to it, you can feel the authors passion and reverence for biology and the natural world. I would love to take one of her classes because they sound like an absolute blast. She is a good teacher.
