"Inspiring, life affirming, poignant. This densely packed volume of wisdom from the hearts and minds of people most intimately targeted by climate change illustrates what is at stake,?provides?a vision?of what must be done, and cogently illustrates an intersectional analysis that includes the environment. There is no other book like it." - Kari?Marie Norgaard, Associate Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies, University of Oregon, USA
