If educators take Rebecca Youngs advice to harness the power of imaginative world-making and empathetic reading, perhaps we have a chance not only to confront climate crisis but to persuade young people to take tangible steps to repair and protect our environment. A first step would be to recover the original sense of empathy, with Einfühlung, a feeling-into the inanimate world upon which we depend. -- Suzanne Keen, Washington and Lee University This book could not be more timely or more necessary. The most important questions the planet faces are changing quicklyall of a sudden, survival and fairness seem at least as crucial as that old standby, 'how can we grow bigger?' That world requires a new pedagogy, one whose outlines this volume helps you sense. -- Bill McKibben, Author of Deep Economy
