In this utterly captivating work, Charlie Hertzog Young takes us on a riveting journey through the intertwined realms of climate activism and mental health. With unflinching honesty, Young recounts his transformation from a teenage environmental crusader to a battle-worn activist grappling with psychological turmoil. His tale of personal reconstruction serves as a powerful metaphor for our collective need to heal in the face of planetary crisis.
Spinning Out masterfully dissects the profound connection between Earth's deteriorating health and humanity's psychological well-being. Young posits that the climate emergency is not merely triggering eco-anxiety, but is, in fact, unearthing deep-seated issues within the very foundations of our civilisation. Through a tapestry of voices from activists, organisers, and researchers spanning the globe, this book offers both a celebration of alternative ways of being and a practical guide for those striving to create positive change without succumbing to despair.
This extraordinary work serves as both a warning and a beacon of hope. By aligning the needs of our planet with those of the human psyche, Young presents a compelling vision for a united front against climate chaos. Spinning Out is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to comprehend the intricate dance between environmental degradation and mental health, and for those ready to channel their grief into meaningful action.

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.’
