Crowned with Bookshop.org's Non-Fiction Annual Indie Champions Award, this groundbreaking work challenges the sanitised portrayal of climate action in mainstream media. Mikaela Loach exposes how environmental efforts have been diluted to fit within the confines of capitalism—a system that prioritises profit over all else. She argues that the climate crisis is inextricably linked to poverty, exploitation, and systemic injustices, issues that have been largely downplayed in public discourse.
Loach posits that addressing climate change necessitates a holistic approach, tackling the very foundations of societal inequalities. She presents climate justice as a powerful vehicle for achieving racial equality and collective liberation, offering a path to dismantle oppressive structures at their core.
'It's Not That Radical' delivers a fresh, uncompromising perspective on genuine climate action. With a blend of candour and optimism, Loach provides an accessible yet transformative analysis of our current predicament. This compelling read aims to galvanise a broad coalition of activists, presenting practical strategies to effect meaningful change for the future of our planet.

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.’
