Nomad Century: How to Survive the Climate Upheaval by Gaia Vince is an essential read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet.
This acclaimed book, recognized by the Wainwright Prize 2023 and shortlisted for multiple prestigious awards, delves deep into the critical issue of mass human migration driven by climate change. Vince's compelling narrative unveils a startling fact: for every degree of global temperature rise, a staggering one billion people could be forced to leave their homes.
With vivid descriptions ranging from the arid landscapes of Sudan to the vulnerable streets of New Orleans, she paints a picture of a world on the brink of dramatic geographical shifts. Rather than presenting a bleak outlook, Nomad Century serves as a powerful call to action, urging readers to reconsider how migration should be viewed.
Gaia Vince's Royal Society Science Book Prize winner is the first comprehensive work addressing the pressing challenges posed by climate upheaval. It offers a thoughtful blueprint for thriving amidst the chaos, inviting readers to engage with one of the most vital issues of our time.
Explore how to navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with climate upheaval through this enlightening read.

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.’
