Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from the Earth’s Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis by renowned climate scientist Michael Mann is an Independent Climate Book of the Year 2023, capturing the essence of our planet's delicate balance through an engaging narrative.

This compelling work intricately weaves together science and history, highlighting how the Earth's past can illuminate pathways for our survival in the face of climate uncertainty. Over 4.54 billion years, the planet has thrived without human intervention, yet we have emerged in a transient moment, dependent on climatic conditions that are now increasingly jeopardized.

In Our Fragile Moment, Mann explores critical insights that shape our understanding of human evolution and environmental stability:

  • Insights from Earth's History: Understand the environmental factors that have enabled human life to flourish.
  • Climate Crisis Awareness: Gain essential knowledge about the severity of our current climate situation.
  • Empowerment to Act: Discover how individuals and communities can effectively respond to the climate emergency.

Mann's accessible prose not only educates but also inspires urgency, emphasizing the interconnectedness of our existence and the environment. This theme resonates throughout the book, prompting readers to adopt a proactive approach to sustainability.

By connecting past lessons with contemporary challenges, Our Fragile Moment serves as a vital resource for anyone passionate about securing a sustainable future for 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.’
