About This Item
Melbourne: Allen Lane / Penguin Books, 2009. Australian ed.. Paperback large trade, very good condition, colour photos centre spread, minor edgewear. 178 pp. The key insight of the Gaia Theory of James Lovelock is that the entire Earth functions as a single living super-organism. That organism is now sick. Here, he distils over 40 years of wisdom and observation of the Earth to reveal the faster than expected rate at which our climate is altering, how conventional green measures are not working, and how life as we know it is going to change forever. Only his Gaia model, he shows, can help us fully understand this, and prepare us for the future. (The scarce Australian edition.).
