Environment and ecology books

Ages of Gaia

Since James Lovelock's first book, Gaia, was published, much scientific work has supported his theory that the Earth and all living things are part of one great organism. This second, updated edition looks at this evidence in detail. In his discussion of scientific and environmental issues he sounds a warning of the damage man is doing to the health of the planet.

In his first book, Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth, James Lovelock proposed a startling new theory of life: the Earth, its rocks, oceans, atmosphere, and all living things are part of one great organism. Much scientific work has added support to his theory and in Ages of Gaia he examines environmental and scientific issues in detail, including the greenhouse effect, acid rain, the depletion of the ozone layer, and the destruction of tropical forests.
