The Serviceberry
Adult Nonfiction. "Potawatomi environmentalist Kimmerer (Braiding Sweetgrass) explains that the Potawatomi root word for 'berry' (min) is also the root word for 'gift,' illustrating how in the tribe's 'culture of gratitude,' natural resources are seen as offerings that carry with them 'responsibilities of sharing, respect, reciprocity.' Such principles are needed to counter the concentration of resources in the hands of the few, she contends, calling for 'gift economies' in which 'the practice for dealing with abundance is to give it away.' It's an eloquent call to action." -Publishers Weekly

What Goes With What
Adult Nonfiction. "Julia Turshen is a home cook's best friend. Known for her simple, no-frills, yet utterly satisfying recipes - as well as her authentic, relatable, problem-solving approach - hers are the cookbooks we all turn to when we want to know what else we can make with some ground turkey, or if we can pull off dessert with a few basic pantry ingredients. In essence, we look to Julia when we want to know What Goes with What: to understand how we can transform the seemingly boring contents of our fridge into an exciting meal." Publisher description
