The War Below: AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 `TODAY' : Lithium, copper, and the global battle to power our lives takes you on a gripping journey through the trillion-dollar fight for critical resources that will shape our future. This compelling narrative by a leading expert unravels the complexities of a world in transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

In a time where lithium, copper, cobalt, rare earths, and nickel are emerging as the cornerstones of new technologies, this book reveals how the battle for these essential minerals is heating up. With the global shift towards electric vehicles, solar panels, and countless other devices, the demand for mining is skyrocketing, leading to intricate geopolitical entanglements.

The War Below delves into significant issues, including:

  • The role of nations striving for energy independence while facing ethical dilemmas regarding child labor in mining.
  • Environmental challenges such as the potential extinction of unique species caused by mining activities, exemplified by a proposed lithium mine in Nevada.
  • The intricate relationships between industry giants, researchers, and policymakers as they navigate the new energy wars.

Recognized as a Financial Times Best Summer Book of 2024 and an Amazon Best Book of the Year So Far for 2024, this essential read is a wake-up call for investors, environmentalists, and anyone interested in the future of energy. Join the discussion on how resources are reshaping our lives and the planet.

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.’
