A timeless gem of environmental literature, penned by the visionary behind the Work That Reconnects movement, now more pertinent than ever before. As humanity grapples with an existential crisis, individuals often feel isolated and powerless when confronting the enormity of our global predicament. Who better to turn to for guidance and solace than Joanna Macy, a pioneer of modern environmentalism, whose life's mission has been to acknowledge and alleviate our collective anguish for the planet?

In 'World as Lover, World as Self', Macy draws upon a lifetime of insight to offer a renewed focus on the natural world. Here, readers can discover the fortitude and spiritual sustenance necessary to envision a new future for humankind, one built upon a sustainable relationship with our Earth. Grounded in the Buddha's teachings of paticca samuppada, or interdependent co-arising, Macy's reflections are particularly relevant for activists seeking to address the underlying mindsets of fear, greed, and selfishness that fuel overconsumption and, ultimately, the destruction of our world.

This definitive edition of 'World as Lover, World as Self' is both heart-rending and uplifting, equipping a new generation of readers with the tools and understanding to confront today's challenges and crises. It offers a masterful exploration of how we might cultivate the courage necessary for global justice and ecological renewal in these turbulent 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.’
