“Henfrey offers a complex and creative way to rethink the climate crisis, with a sharp critique of dominant, Western shaped approaches, emerging from his ethnographic material, and guided by a complicated and nuanced theoretical framework… Overall, this book provides a new way to explore our environmental crisis and fundamentally rethink [our] understanding of, characterization of and engagement with our natural environment.” • Anthropos
