The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World

The book price does not look like a gift to me. I think the book is a good reflection on capitalism questions, and gift economy may be a ludic standpoint to consider after you have learned how to survive in a market economy. I think gift economy is not a good path for humanity: it looks like labeling economy since it is not based on ground truths.

Prima boek

I loved this book. The author presents a vivid story about the role of more-than-human entities like plants in sustainabllity and we can learn from them to ensure creating a better world for everyone.

I love the writings of Robin Wall Kimmerer; I loved reading BRAIDING SWEETGRASS. THE SERVICEBERRY is just about as good. The emphasis here is on abundance and reciprocity....and giving/sharing. The problem is that in most cases the wrong people will read this book. Those who could most benefit from the messages in it won't read it but will just continue on with their endless taking. John Burgoyne's drawings are great also.

A lovely gentle and inspiring read
