The Edge: How competition for resources is pushing the world, and its climate, to the brink - and what we can do about it is a crucial read for anyone seeking to understand our tumultuous times. Authored by a seasoned insider from the energy industry, this compelling book tackles pressing global issues that impact us all.

In an era defined by crises—from the war in Ukraine to soaring energy costs and rampant inflation—this book delves into the underlying causes of our most significant challenges. It presents a stark reality: many of these crises stem from fierce competition over limited resources.

The Edge not only identifies the problems we face but also equips readers with actionable insights on how to respond effectively. Key themes explored include:

  • Understanding the dynamics of resource competition and its role in conflict
  • Exploring the connection between resource waste and climate change
  • Strategies for enhancing efficiency in households, businesses, and societies
  • Guidance on transitioning towards sustainability and resilience in a volatile world

This book shines a light on the need for collective action and innovative thinking to forge a path toward stability and prosperity. With the world standing on the edge of history, it serves as both a warning and a call to arms for individuals and organizations alike.

As readers navigate through the complexities of the modern landscape, The Edge provides clarity and direction, making it an indispensable addition to your reading list for 2023 and beyond.

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.’
