As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. 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.

Great alternative to a washcloth
Size: Large
Love the exfoliating texture! I have them on automatic delivery. I have ditched washcloths and loofahs for these. Hold soap well. Dry quickly. Hang from the tag. Last the whole month without falling apart. A little expensive but I think they are worth it.

Love these Exfoliating Sponges
Size: Large
These sponges do a great job. Love the colors. They are not to rough on the skin. You do not have to press down to hard to get smooth skin. They are well worth buying.

Excellent for rough dry skin
Size: Large
I love this product. I use these exfoliating scrubs with the Tree Hut Vitamin C Shea Sugar Scrub, . My legs had been looking really dry and rough and really horrible. I had to figure out what to do about it. This product with the scrub really did the job. In fact a friend was over--i was in the recliner and had my legs and she asked if I had hose on because my legs were so smooth! (Her birthday is next month so I will order these products for her!)
