Environmental advocate and author Terry Tempest Williams’ new book Finding Beauty in a Broken World is an original and provocative work that chronicles Williams’ search to find a reason for the mindless destruction and despair that surrounds us. From Iraq to Rwanda to Darfur, Williams searches for the possibility of empathy, meaning, and beauty. Williams’ works have helped to create a growing understanding that conservation is not really an environmental issue but a political and philosophical one--a matter of value and care.
