18 | Greentailing The books of change I f you’re like me, when fall comes around, it’s back to the books. Ever since Rachel Carson’s classic release of “Silent Spring” in 1962, the environmental movement has continued to build momentum—birthing new thought leaders and innovations in sustainability. With this movement comes some provocative books, many of which have been the root of change for many of the sustainability icons in the industry today. If you are looking to enhance your sustainability knowledge or are ready to take a dive into some books that might change the way you think, just as they did for me, I’m here to make your search easy. I’ve created a list of the sustainability classics, as well as some of the more recent titles that are retail-focused, capturing best practices in our industry over the past few years. As you travel home this fall, bear the cold or watch the ﬁrst snow, hunker down with one of these in book, nook or iPad form. Enjoy!
