The Revenge of Gaia/The Gaia Hypotheses

If anyone is a firm believer in the environment or fancies themselves to be a ecocentric in their approach to life, or you may just like environmental politics. Either way, reading James Lovelock's material is a vital must read!!

(1982/2000) Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth
(2007) The Revenge of Gaia: Why the Earth is Fighting Back - and How We Can Still Save Humanity
(2009) The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning


"For millennia, humankind has exploited the Earth without counting the cost. Now, as the world warms and weather patterns dramatically change, the Earth is beginning to fight back. James Lovelock, one of the giants of environmental thinking, argues passionately and poetically that, although global warming is now inevitable, we are not yet too late to save at least part of human civilization. This short book, written at the age of eighty-six after a lifetime engaged in the science of the earth, is his testament."

"James Lovelock is the author of more than 200 scientific papers and the originator of the Gaia Hypothesis (now Gaia Theory). He has written three books on the subject: Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth, The Ages of Gaia and Gaia: The Practical Science of Planetary Medicine, as well as an autobiography, Homage to Gaia. In 2003 he was made a Companion of Honour by Her Majesty the Queen, and in September 2005 Prospect magazine named him as one of the world's top 100 global public intellectuals. In April 2006 he was awarded the Edinburgh Medal at the Edinburgh International Science Festival."

this sounds interesting, ill look out for this

I'm 2/3's a the way through a story revolving around a world called Gaia - of course the planet has its own life-force - which an ancient evil wants to destroy ^_^
