Description

A new edition of the celebrated thinker James Lovelock's autobiography to celebrate his 100th birthday.

There is much more than science in this book ... This is ultimately an uplifting book about the way life ought to be, both at a personal and at a global level

His 'Gaia hypothesis' is certainly heroic, with all the illusion-busting potential of Gallileo's or Einstein's theories

The scientist who, more than any other alive today, has changed the way we think of the earth and our place on it

Daring, exciting, original

Lovelock writes beautifully ... Only a genius thinks of the obvious, and Lovelock deserves to be described as a genius

The breath-taking sweep of his central idea - that the earth is a living, self-regulating organism - poses the most dramatic challenge to scientists, politicians, and environmentalists.

Lovelock will go down in history as the scientist who changed our view of the Earth

a man as inventive and ingenious as he is lively and unorthodox

James Lovelock, who was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974, was the author of more than 200 scientific papers and the originator of the Gaia Hypothesis (now Gaia Theory). His many books on the subject include Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth (1979), The Revenge of Gaia (2006), The Vanishing Face of Gaia (2009) and A Rough Ride to the Future (2014). In 2003 he was made a Companion of Honour by Her Majesty the Queen, in 2005 Prospect magazine named him one of the world's top 100 public intellectuals, and in 2006 he received the Wollaston Medal, the highest Award of the UK Geological Society. He died on the day of his 103rd birthday in July 2022.
