  <default_description>The key insight of Gaia Theory is that the entire Earth  functions as a single living superorganism, regulating its internal  environment much as an animal regulates its body temperature. But  according to James Lovelock, the theory's originator, that organism is now  sick. It is running a fever born of increased atmospheric greenhouse  gases. Earth will adjust to these stresses, but the human race faces a  severe test. It is already too late, Lovelock says, to prevent the global  climate from &quot;flipping&quot; into an entirely new equilibrium that will  threaten civilization as we know it. But we can do much to save humanity.  In the tradition of &lt;I&gt;Silent Spring&lt;/I&gt;, this is a call to action. &lt;P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[An interesting book with some scary and memorable passages. Lovelock invented the Gaia hypothesis (the idea that the whole biosphere is essentially one living organism). Here, he's addressing the problems of climate change, and what we can do about it. &quot;I'm a doctor,&quot; he says. &quot;The Ea...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48959857">more...</a>]]></body>
