Hailed as 'A true hero' by Greta Thunberg and selected as a NEW SCIENTIST BOOK OF THE YEAR, this compelling work offers a beacon of light in these turbulent times. In an era plagued by environmental crises and societal turmoil, renowned conservationist Jane Goodall and bestselling author Douglas Abrams embark on a profound exploration of hope—an element as crucial as it is elusive.
Through intimate discourse, Goodall, the world's preeminent living naturalist, unveils her 'Four Reasons for Hope': The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit. This urgent tome serves as both a survival guide for our endangered planet and a rare glimpse into the heart and mind of a woman who has dedicated her life to understanding and protecting the natural world.
Brimming with captivating anecdotes and original photographs, 'The Book of Hope' offers a masterful blend of scientific insight and personal reflection. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and a rallying cry for those who refuse to surrender in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. In these pages, readers will discover not only the nature of hope itself but also a roadmap for nurturing and sustaining it in even the darkest of times.

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.’
