This book is a compelling view of the earth you stand on. The Gaia Hypothesis, formulated by former NASA scientist Lovelock and the influential paleobiologist Lynn Margulis, posits that the earth and its organisms form a self-regulating system that tends to maintain a given climate through atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial feedbacks. Lovelock points out the ways he believes the system has worked in the past, and discusses his grave concern about its ability to continue in the face of current greenhouse gas inputs.
