Sixty Harvests Left: How to Reach a Nature-Friendly Future is a groundbreaking work by Philip Lymbery that challenges us to reconsider our relationship with the planet. This powerful book is not just a call to action; it’s a roadmap to a sustainable future.
In a world where the United Nations warns that our soils could vanish within a generation, Lymbery exposes the alarming truth about the industrial farming practices that threaten our environment. He takes readers on a global journey—from the UK to Brazil—unveiling how mega-farms and chemical dependency are endangering our air, water, and food sources.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. Sixty Harvests Left also shines a light on the innovators and activists who are pioneering sustainable farming methods. These heroes are reviving traditional practices and leveraging new technologies to ensure that future generations will have access to the nourishment they need.
Recognized by thought leaders such as Michael Morpurgo and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Sixty Harvests Left is not just informative; it is transformative. Discover how we can build a nature-friendly future, one harvest at a 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.’
