What caused the breakdown of our connection with nature, why is it significant, and how can we mend it? We've transitioned from a past deeply rooted in the natural world to one where agricultural, scientific, and industrial revolutions have gradually eroded our bond with nature, promising fulfilment and happiness through prosperity. While this shift has brought comfort to many, there's growing awareness that our detachment from nature is the primary driver of wildlife decline and climate change, as well as a crucial factor affecting our mental wellbeing. Yet, current solutions often focus on technical remedies that address the symptoms rather than the root cause of this damaged relationship, such as reducing carbon emissions or expanding habitats. What we desperately need is a fundamental shift in our perspective.
In 'Reconnection', Miles Richardson delves into our hidden ties with nature through the lens of nature connectedness science, outlining a strategy to rejuvenate this relationship across society. This book presents a path to a meaningful existence that harmonises both human and nature's welfare for a genuinely sustainable future. Importantly, it emphasises that everyone has a part to play in this transformation. From corporate executives to conservationists, educators to healthcare professionals, motorists to pedestrians – we all can minimise the harm we cause and discover new ways to incorporate nature into our lives. This timely work examines the issues scientifically before offering straightforward, practical, and positive measures that we can all adopt to work towards a better world.

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.’
