"There was a time when I teetered precariously with an awkward foot in each of two worlds—the scientific and the indigenous. But then I learned to fly. Or at least try. It was the bees that showed me how to move between different flowers—to drink the nectar and gather pollen from both. It is this dance of cross-pollination that can produce a new species of knowledge, a new way of being in the world. After all, there aren’t two worlds, there is just this one good green earth . . . Science and art, matter and spirit, indigenous knowledge and Western science— can they be goldenrod and asters for each other?" - Kimmerer, Robin. Braiding Sweetgrass : Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants

1. Is this book in print or is it electronic (an ebook that you can access online)?
2. If the book you want is a physical book, log into your account and look for the pick it up button.
3. If the book says AVAILABLE here, it is on the shelf and you should be able to check it out. Proceed to 4.
If there is a due date instead, someone has the book checked out. Click the Pick it Up button to request it and select the library location where you'd like to pick it up.
