2013, Milkweed Editions Call No: NL 305.5 KIM Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "An inspired weaving of indigenous knowledge, plant science, and personal narrative from a distinguished professor of science and a Native American whose previous book, Gathering Moss, was awarded the John Burroughs Medal for outstanding nature writing.
