I have just heard James Lovelock interviewed on the radio. He is an extremely clear, insightful and original scientist who doesn't deserve the kind of patronisation he has been given here. His findings are not 'weird', he does not presume to have 'proved' anything via science and it's not as if he wrote this book as light reading for train journeys. I myself am going to buy it, read it, and possibly review it at a later date.
Some interesting ideas April 21, 2004 0 out of 4 found this review helpful
... but quite heavy reading, so not ideal for train journeys. It waswritten some time ago and must have been extremely controversial then, butnow lots of 'weird' ideas are proven by science.
A clever book - makes you think! November 29, 2001 9 out of 18 found this review helpful
In this book J. Lovelock really shows the power of the Gaia way of thinking. It is not necessary to have read the earlier books but it sure helps! One of the most exiting features is the insight it offers in gaia reactions over time.
