In "Democracy of Species," biologist Robin Wall Kimmerer invites us into the lush forests, wetlands, and grasslands she knows intimately. Through vivid stories of mosses, mushrooms, and maples, Kimmerer reveals the intricate web of reciprocity that sustains all life. As she explores how humans might learn from the generosity and wisdom of the natural world, Kimmerer challenges us to expand our definition of democracy beyond the human realm. By turns lyrical and pragmatic, this book offers a bold, hopeful vision for coexisting with the more-than-human world.
