Dear Colleague, We are pleased to announce that the latest issue of Nature and Culture has recently been published by Berghahn Journals. This issue covers a variety of topics. The first article defends the German energy transition and argues that they have chosen an economically efficient and forceful approach to securing a sustainable energy supply. Leduc and Crate's article is concerned with the way in which indigenous place-based knowledge and understandings, in a time of climate change, have the potential to challenge researchers to self-reflexively shift the focus of their research toward those technological and consumer practices that are the cultural context of our research. Vicenzotti's article presents an approach to mapping multivalent metaphors, that is, metaphors that imply competing values. Kelly and Rule'sempirical study counters the claim that Love and Kill are separate constructs in hunting, finding instead that individual hunters often view their prey through a mixed lens that includes both Love and Kill. The question posed in the final article is how shifts in governance ushered in by the sustainability paradigm are reshaping knowledge governance. The issue concludes with a Review Essay.
