Hailed as a top science and environment book by The Times and featuring on Prospect's Top Thinkers 2024 list, this groundbreaking work has garnered praise from luminaries like Bill Gates and David Wallace-Wells. The Financial Times lauds its engaging narratives of pivotal figures behind recent climate innovations.
In this riveting exploration, Akshat Rathi posits that salvaging our planet has become more economically viable than its destruction. As we grapple with the climate crisis, Rathi unveils a world already embracing crucial solutions.
Embarking on a global odyssey across five continents, the author introduces us to an unexpected cast of climate heroes. From a Chinese civil servant outpacing Elon Musk in electric vehicle development, to Danish students constructing the world's most enduring wind turbine, to an American oil executive pioneering climate damage reversal technology, we encounter the visionaries scaling up game-changing technologies to curb emissions.
Through a masterful blend of human interest, policy analysis, and technological insight, Rathi demonstrates that a green economy is not only feasible but profitable. This inspiring fusion of business acumen, scientific knowledge, and historical context provides a blueprint for ensuring a prosperous future for generations to come, without compromising progress.

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.’
