Beautifully written, this collection of essays and constructed prose is carefully organized so the pieces fit together chronologically and thematically.

An interesting time capsule into sci-fi of 1973, this is a book about big ideas rather than characters, covering hundreds (or arguably thousands) of years.

Blending her plant science and indigenous backgrounds, Robin Wall Kimmerer writes about people and their place in the world, about reciprocity between people and nature, and about what she calls the "Wendigo economy."
