Description

In this groundbreaking work, Peter Schwartzstein, an accomplished environmental journalist, offers readers an unprecedented journey into the heart of climate-induced global conflict. 'The Heat and the Fury' is hailed as a seminal exploration of what may be the most pressing issue of our era, as noted by David Wallace-Wells, author of 'The Uninhabitable Earth'.

Drawing from over a decade of extensive reporting across numerous countries, Schwartzstein unveils the intricate and often surprising ways in which climate change fuels worldwide unrest and strife. From drought-stricken Iraqi villages where ISIS exploits environmental hardship for recruitment and terror, to the pirate-infested waters surrounding Bangladesh, the author paints a vivid picture of the far-reaching consequences of our warming planet.

Through captivating narratives of soldiers, farmers, spies, and other affected individuals, Schwartzstein illuminates a form of conflict that remains largely misunderstood, despite its devastating impact on millions of lives. His research, fraught with personal danger including near-kidnappings, police detentions, and expulsions from certain nations, offers merely a glimpse into the simmering tensions of our climate-altered world.

Yet, amidst the turmoil, Schwartzstein's unrivalled reporting reveals that climate-induced violence is not an inevitability. In fact, he posits that the very stresses driving people apart may also serve as catalysts for reunification. This compelling work not only exposes the harsh realities of climate conflict but also presents a nuanced perspective on potential paths toward resolution.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

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.’
