Braiding Sweetgrass
3.690 kr.As a botanist, Robin Wall Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers.
In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer brings these two ways of knowledge together. Drawing on her life as an indigenous scientist, a mother, and a woman, Kimmerer shows how other living beings – asters and goldenrod, strawberries and squash, salamanders, algae, and sweetgrass – offer us gifts and lessons, even if we’ve forgotten how to hear their voices. In a rich braid of reflections that range from the creation of Turtle Island to the forces that threaten its flourishing today, she circles toward a central argument: that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world.
For only when we can hear the languages of other beings will we be capable of understanding the generosity of the earth, and learn to give our own gifts in return.

Náttúrulögmálin
1.990 kr.Náttúrulögmálin er söguleg skáldsaga þar sem brugðið er á leik með heimildir og staðreyndir svo úr verður karnivalísk og bráðskemmtileg frásögn af kaupstaðarlífi Ísafjarðar á miklum umbreytingatímum í sögu þjóðarinnar og heimsbyggðarinnar allrar.
Snemmsumars árið 1925 kallar yngsti, fegursti og jafnframt óviljugasti biskup Íslands, séra Jón Hallvarðsson, til prestastefnu á Ísafirði. Megintilgangurinn virðist vera að storka þjóðtrú landans og sýna mátt kristindómsins frammi fyrir hindurvitnum, spíritisma og náttúruöflum. En með uppátæki sínu hleypir biskup af stað ófyrirsjáanlegri sjö daga atburðarás þar sem náttúra staðarins kallast á við náttúru mannsins.
