Dear all,
Today Routledge published my book Ecolinguistics: language, ecology and the stories we live by. In the book I present a new vision for ecolinguistics as an engaged practice which questions the stories we live by, and contributes to the search for new ones. I thought it might be of interest to members of this group. You can find out more here including how to get an e-inspection copy:

best wishes,
Arran

PS: This is the blurb from the back cover:
The increasingly rapid destruction of the ecological systems that support life is calling into question some of the fundamental stories that we live by: stories of unlimited economic growth, of consumerism, progress, individualism, success and the human domination of nature.
Ecolinguistics shows how linguistic analysis can help reveal the stories we live by, open them up to question, and contribute to the search for new stories. Bringing together the latest ecolinguistic studies with new theoretical insights and practical analyses, this book charts a new course for ecolinguistics as an engaged form of critical inquiry. Featuring:
- a framework for understanding the theory of ecolinguistics and applying itpractically in real life
- exploration of diverse topics from consumerism in lifestyle magazines to Japanese nature haiku
- a comprehensive glossary giving concise descriptions of the linguistic terms used in the book
- discourse analysis of a wide range of texts including newspapers, magazines, advertisements, films, non-fiction books and visual images.
This is essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers working in the areas of Discourse Analysis and Language and Ecology, as well as anyone interested in the search for new stories to live by.
