About this listen

Tap into thousands of years of plant knowledge.

The belief that all life-forms are interconnected and share the same breath - known in the Rarámuri tribe as iwigara - has resulted in a treasury of knowledge about the natural world, passed down for millennia by native cultures. Ethnobotanist Enrique Salmon builds on this concept of connection and highlights 80 plants revered by North America's indigenous peoples. Salmon teaches us the ways plants are used as food and medicine, the details of their identification and harvest, their important health benefits, plus their role in traditional stories and myths. Discover how the timeless wisdom of iwigara can enhance your own kinship with the natural world.

I listened to this book for a book club meeting. it was read wonderfully and contained lots of information and lore. To me, this will make a great reference book for my herbal library in a hard copy so I can easily refer to each plant.

I’m enjoying the book but I’ll be returning the audio version and buying in paperback. Once past the first chapter or two, the book reads more like a text book by breaking down different plants and their cultural and medicinal uses. I’m sure it’s great as a physical book where you can pause, study, and view photos of the plants but it doesn’t make a great audiobook.

Good book just not helpful as an audiobook
