Written for non-scientists, Gaia is a journey through time and space in search of evidence with which to support a new and radically different model of our planet. In contrast to conventional belief that living matter is passive in the face of threats to its existence, the book explores the hypothesis that the earth's living matter air, ocean, and land surfaces forms a complex system that has the capacity to keep the Earth a fit place for life. Since Gaia was first published, many of Jim Lovelock's predictions have come true and his theory has become a hotly argued topic in scientific circles. In a new Preface to this reissued title, he outlines his present state of the debate. 1085074 1982 Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth total:86|5:25|4:23|3:36|2:2|1:0| 86 329 171 7 3 0 true false Sat Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 23 11:54:28 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 23 13:58:57 -0700 2008
