"As a leading researcher in the field of biology, Robin Wall Kimmerer understands the delicate state of our world. But as an active member of the Potawatomi nation, she senses and relates to the world through a way of knowing far older than any science. 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. The woven essays that construct this book bring people back into conversation with all that is green and growing; a universe that never stopped speaking to us, even when we forgot how to listen"--

"作为生物学领域的领先研究者，罗宾-沃尔-金默尔了解我们世界的微妙状态。但作为波塔瓦托米民族的积极成员，她通过一种比任何科学都要古老的认识方式来感知世界并与之联系。在《编织甜草》中，她将这两种认识模式交织在一起--分析和情感，科学和文化--最终揭示了一条通往治愈人与自然之间的裂痕的道路。构建这本书的文章使人们重新与所有绿色和生长的东西对话；一个从未停止对我们说话的宇宙，甚至在我们忘记如何倾听的时候。
