Eva Maria Räpple performs the great service of helping us understand some of the many challenges of climate change: to our perception, comprehension and thinking, powers of communication, and the very frameworks and values that guide our lives. In profound and timely meditations, she explores metaphors, images, and stories as resources to address these challenges that catalyze the imagination and provoke new possibilities of thinking and acting. This text is a gift to any of us who strive to communicate about climate change as a contribution towards a more just and sustainable world.
