Embark on a daring journey through the intriguing paradox of our times: unprecedented prosperity juxtaposed with widespread discontent. This captivating exploration delves into the discord between our ancestral programming and the demands of contemporary life, offering illuminating insights into our collective malaise.

Despite living in an era of unparalleled abundance and comfort, society finds itself fractured and unfulfilled. Mental health crises proliferate, loneliness pervades, and chronic ailments surge. What lies at the heart of this perplexing disparity?

Evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein posit a compelling theory: our ancient physiology and psyche are ill-equipped for the modern milieu. We're hardwired for tribal living, yet many of us scarcely know our neighbours. Our forebears thrived in harmony with nature, but today's artificial environments - from our diets to our work habits and even our exposure to light - diverge dramatically from our evolutionary expectations.

Drawing upon their extensive academic experience and forays into Earth's most biodiverse realms, the authors confront pressing societal issues. From widespread sleep deprivation and nutritional missteps to misguided parenting and educational practices, they offer a scientific lens through which to view our contemporary challenges.

'A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century' presents a science-based worldview, empowering readers to navigate modern life with greater wisdom and wellbeing. It's an essential compass for those seeking to reconcile our primordial past with our complex present.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
