Being Ecological by Timothy Morton is a captivating exploration that challenges everything you think you know about ecology and our place within it.

Hailed as "Our most popular guide to the new epoch" by Guardian, this thought-provoking book invites readers into a world where the boundaries between 'humans' and 'nature' blur, urging us to reconsider our future on this planet. Morton’s unique perspective confronts the overwhelming 'information dump' fatigue that prevails in our digital age, offering a refreshing approach to understanding ecology.

In Being Ecological, Morton boldly states that this volume contains "no ecological facts," instead providing an invigorating narrative that sparks new ways of thinking. This book is not just for environmentalists; it appeals to anyone curious about the deeper connection between humanity and ecology.

  • Provocative Insights: Challenges conventional beliefs about ecology.
  • Interdisciplinary Approach: Merges philosophy with contemporary culture.
  • Engaging Style: Captivates both scholars and casual readers alike.

Morton’s collaborations with renowned artists and thinkers, including Björk and Hans Ulrich Obrist, further enrich this narrative. He seamlessly weaves together concepts from object-oriented philosophy, engaging with influential figures like Heidegger and Kant to provide a fresh lens on subjectivity and objectivity.

Whether you care about ecology or not, Being Ecological is a must-read that empowers you to envision a livable future and urges us to harness our innate capacity for change.

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.’
