Overview

Why is Earth the only planet in our solar system where life has evolved and flourished? And will it prevail as a perfect planet for life? Here, Lovelock addresses these and many other questions about Earth's future. Provides a "health check" and examines the growing prospects of our ailing planet. Lovelock detected the presence of CFCs in our environment, which led him to develop a new theory about our planet: the Gaia Hypothesis. It posits that the Earth is alive -- a self-regulating organism in its own right -- and sets the record straight on the damage that CFCs have done to our planet and the delicate balance between living things. Offers the most comprehensive analysis of our origins, our reasons for existence, and our likely future. Beautifully illustrated!
