From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Braiding Sweetgrass, an inspiring vision of how to reorient our lives around gratitude, reciprocity and communityAs Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most?Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival.The Serviceberry is an antidote to the broken relationships and misguided goals of our times, and a reminder that “hoarding won’t save us, all flourishing is mutual.”

Vilken intelligens gör att en fågel kan hitta vägen till en plats tusentals kilometer bort, där den aldrig varit förut? Eller med precision härma sångerna från hundratals andra arter? Eller komma ihåg exakt var den gömt sina frön, flera månader tidigare?

I Bevingad intelligens tar Jennifer Ackerman med läsaren på en storslagen resa genom fågelsinnet. Hon besöker forskare och fåglar i såväl Nya Kaledoniens djungel som i sin egen trädgård, och berättar om de allra senaste rönen om kråkor, duvor, sparvar och många fler. Gamla sanningar ställs på ända, och en sak blir tydlig: Fåglarna är mycket smartare än vad vi länge har trott.

En underbart provocerande och mycket underhållande bok Wall Street Journal

Det finns en helt annan värld av intelligens där ute, och den här boken är en härlig introduktion till den. The Guardian

Vetenskapen är häpnadsväckande, och den förhöjs av Ackermans prosa hennes glädje i att fundera och iaktta. New York Times
