Which is why, after nearly two decades of working as a restoration ecologist in the Pacific Northwest, she became frustrated that she and her colleagues weren't making the meaningful change needed for plant, animal and human communities to adapt to a warming climate. She began to question the central conceit of restoration ecology: that somehow, we must return the natural world to an untouched, pristine state, placing humans in a godlike role—a notion at odds with Indigenous histories of purposeful, reciprocal interaction with the environment. This disconnect sent Dr. Grenz on a journey of joining her head (Western science) and her heart (Indigenous worldview) to find a truer path toward ecological healing.\u003cbr\u003e    In \u003ci\u003eMedicine Wheel for the Planet\u003c\/i\u003e, building on sacred stories, field observation and personal experience, Dr. Grenz invites readers to share in the teachings of the four directions of the medicine wheel: the North, which draws upon the knowledge and wisdom of elders; the East, where we let go of colonial narratives and see with fresh eyes; the South, where we apply new-old worldviews to envision a way forward; and the West, where a relational approach to land reconciliation is realized.\u003cbr\u003e    Eloquent, inspiring and disruptive, \u003ci\u003eMedicine Wheel for the Planet\u003c\/i\u003e circles in on an argument that a multiplicity of worldviews are required to safeguard our Earth.","brand":"Dr. Jennifer Grenz","offers":[{"title":"Hardback \/ Math, Science, \u0026 Nature","offer_id":54384292692192,"sku":null,"price":20.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/BNCImageAPI_da3d4a03-9c51-456f-b0b7-ec7048cf030f.jpg?v=1787509006","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/products\/9781039006010","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
