In Medicine Wheel for the Planet: A Journey toward Personal and Ecological Healing (Knopf Canada $34.00), Dr. Jennifer Grenz, a Nlaka’pamux woman and restoration ecologist, challenges the traditional notion of returning nature to an untouched state. Drawing from her Indigenous roots and nearly two decades of ecological work in the Pacific Northwest, Grenz advocates for a relational, reciprocal approach to land healing that blends Western science with Indigenous wisdom. Guided by the four directions of the medicine wheel, she weaves sacred stories, personal experience, and field observations into a vision for ecological reconciliation. Eloquent and thought-provoking, her work emphasizes the need for diverse worldviews to address the environmental challenges of a warming planet. 9781039006010
