As a research scientist in the field of biology, the author of this book understands how unprotected and fragile our world is, and as an active citizen and representative of the indigenous Potawatomi people who has not lost touch with their roots, she feels and learns the world in a way that is much older than any science. This book closely intertwines both approaches to the study of the world - analytical and emotional, scientific and cultural - in order to ultimately find ways to bridge the growing gap between people and nature. The book, woven from real stories and legends, returns people to dialogue with everything that turns green and grows, with a universe that has never stopped communicating with us, even when we have forgotten how to hear.
