In a world teetering on the brink of environmental calamity, philosopher Travis Rieder presents a groundbreaking ethical framework for our times. As we grapple with the consequences of our hyperconnected existence, Rieder poses the pressing question: how can we navigate the murky waters of moral decision-making?
With razor-sharp insight, Rieder dissects the inadequacies of our current ethical toolkit when confronted with large-scale, collective challenges. He expertly guides us through the labyrinth of moral quandaries, from the seemingly trivial choices about single-use plastics to the weighty deliberations on procreation.
This intellectual tour de force offers a fresh perspective on how to recalibrate our moral compass in an age of unprecedented global threats. Rieder's 'Catastrophe Ethics' is an indispensable manual for those seeking to lead a life of purpose and integrity amidst the chaos of our rapidly changing world.

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.’
