James Lovelock: in Search of Gaia
John Gribbin
In 1972 when James Lovelock first proposed the Gaia hypothesis - the idea that the Earth is a living organism that maintains conditions suitable for life - he was ridiculed by the scientific establishment. This title tells the story of this maverick scientist's life and how it served as a preparation for the idea of Gaia.
