Reading books isn't always the best way to learn. Some things you need to learn from your elders, and their wisdom has often been passed down through the generations. We celebrate traditional ways of knowing - from the Potawatomi knowledge of the plant world to the Norwegian folk wisdom of how to chop and burn wood. Also, a plea for Africans to reclaim their local knowledge. How to Chop, Stack and Burn Wood; Hmong Knives; Talking to Plants; BookMark: Philip Glass Recommends "The Wayfinders" by Wade Davis; The Eternal Moment; Reclaiming Africa.
