The War Below: AS HEARD ON BBC RADIO 4 ‘TODAY’: Lithium, copper, and the global battle to power our lives is an eye-opening exploration by a leading expert that immerses readers in the trillion-dollar struggle for essential resources critical to our future.

This compelling narrative intricately weaves the urgent transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, spotlighting the surge in demand for lithium, copper, cobalt, and nickel—elements that are indispensable in our modern technology-driven world.

As electric vehicles, solar panels, and high-tech devices become more prevalent, the battle for these vital minerals intensifies, leading to complex geopolitical tensions. The War Below addresses significant issues, including:

  • Energy Independence: Nations grappling with the need for self-sufficiency while confronting ethical dilemmas related to child labor in mining.
  • Environmental Impact: The potential extinction of unique species due to mining activities, highlighted by a proposed lithium mine in Nevada.
  • Industry Dynamics: The critical relationships between industry giants, researchers, and policymakers navigating the new energy landscape.

This work has been recognized as a Financial Times Best Summer Book of 2024 and an Amazon Best Book of the Year So Far for 2024, making it an essential read for investors, environmentalists, and anyone passionate about the future of energy.

Join the conversation about how these resources will shape our lives and the planet for generations to come.

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.’
