Delve into the intricate world of climate science with Chris Rapley's illuminating Pelican Introduction, "Climate Science". This compelling work unravels the complex tapestry of our planet's health, exploring the scientific revelations about human impact and the implications for our future.
Rapley masterfully navigates the labyrinthine nature of climate disruption, a 'wicked' problem intertwined with diplomatic tensions and conflicting national interests. He elucidates why this issue can never be fully 'solved', but must be managed with precision and foresight. The author confronts the myriad challenges obstructing progress: the intricacy of scientific evidence, the inadequacy of existing institutions, and the psychological disconnect many experience when faced with this global threat.
With the keen eye of a detective and the rigour of a scientist, Rapley charts a course through the realm of climate science, unveiling its implications and our potential responses. He presents irrefutable evidence of human-induced climate disruption and offers a blueprint for addressing both the risks and opportunities that lie ahead.
This meticulously researched work equips readers with the knowledge to form their own informed opinions about climate science and our collective response. Rapley posits that our fate on Earth hinges upon the power and limitations of the human mind, making this Introduction an essential read for those seeking to unravel one of the most pressing mysteries of our time.

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.’
