" 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." -- Social Semiotics "A timely publication . this book offers a well-defined, comprehensive, and coherent overview of econarratives, inspiring readers to recognize the ecological significance of these narratives, so it will be a new masterpiece in ecolinguistics." -- Journal of World Languages " Econarrative continues and develops an existing trend in ecolinguistics to highlight existing ecocentric texts and to create more of them. Indeed, the book's chief contribution lies in pointing the way in this direction . Perhaps the main goal [of this book] could be to take inspiration from ecolinguistics to change the way we and others live so as improve the way we humans interact with the planet's other species and with the physical environment.


" -- Autonomy and Responsibility Journal of Educational Sciences "This book, presenting a clearly defined, comprehensive and coherent overview of econarrative with cogent and intrinsically interesting illustrative examples and a strong argument, is set to become the authoritative and seminal text of a new field." --Guy Cook, Emeritus Professor of Language in Education, King's College London, UK "Timely, compelling and written with great lucidity and clarity, this book offers a wide-ranging account of econarrative and its crucial function in protecting the ecosystems that life depends on. Alongside narratological and linguistic reflections, it presents an impassioned case for challenging our unsustainable civilisation and finding new econarratives to live by." --Emanuela Ettorre, Professor of English, Università degli Studi 'Gabriele d'Annunzio', Chieti-Pescara, Italy.
