Join Tomorrow Bookstore for an author conversation about climate change, corporate sustainability, and a roadmap to new environmentalism. Copies of Terrible Beauty will be available for purchase and signing.
Auden Schendler will be in conversation with nonfiction book influencer Nathan Shuherk (@schizophrenicreads) about Auden's new book, Terrible Beauty: Reckoning with Climate Complicity and Rediscovering Our Soul.
About Terrible Beauty: Terrible Beauty is a trench-view story of the failure of the modern environmental movement—and an inspiring prescription for change. It’s a climate book for people who hate climate books. It starts with friends chasing a dust devil in the Utah desert. Chapter one is partly about chopping wood. Sounds fun: what’s the problem?
In short, environmentalism has gone awry. American businesses, communities, and individuals assiduously measure their carbon footprints, then implement voluntary solutions, all while trumpeting their do-gooderism.
As sustainability veteran Auden Schendler argues in this provocative, powerful book, we're living a big green lie. The hard truth: the modern green road map could have been written by the fossil fuel industry specifically to avoid disrupting the status quo. We have become somehow complicit.
Terrible Beauty is a unique and inspiring call for a new environmentalism, showing us that the key to saving the planet is to tap into our own humanity.
About Auden Schendler: Auden Schendler spent twenty-six years running sustainability programs at Aspen One, which operates ski resorts, hotels, restaurants, and retail stores. He focuses on scale solutions to climate change, including clean-energy development, policy, advocacy, movement building, and activism.
Along with Protect Our Winters, where he served on the board for a decade, he is working to mobilize the outdoor industry as a political force. Previously a research associate at Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI), he is author of the new book Terrible Beauty: Reckoning with Climate Complicity and Rediscovering Our Soul (November, 2024) and Getting Green Done: Hard Truths from the Front Lines of the Sustainability Revolution, which climatologist James Hansen called “an antidote to greenwash.” Learn more at audenschendler.com.
About Nathan Shuherk: Nathan is a nonfiction book reviewer, influencer, and podcaster (… and “soon” to be writer). Follow along at @schizophrenicreads.
