Econarrative is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges existing narratives and offers a compelling vision for a more sustainable future. Stibbe’s interdisciplinary approach, engaging writing style, and recognition of the agency of other species make this book a valuable contribution to the field of ethics, ecolinguistics, and environmental communication. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in reshaping human relationships with other species and the physical environment and exploring the transformative potential of narratives.
