The serviceberry : abundance and reciprocity in the natural world  Cover Image Large Print Book Large Print Book

The serviceberry : abundance and reciprocity in the natural world / Robin Wall Kimmerer ; with illustrations by John Burgoyne.

Summary:

"As Indigenous scientist and author Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests Serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers how 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, as Kimmerer explains, 'Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.' The Serviceberry is a reminder that 'hoarding won't save us, all flourishing is mutual'"-- Back cover.
