Gaia : a new look at life on Earth
Written for the non-scientist, this classic work is a journey through time in space in search of evidence with which to support a new and radically different model of our planet. 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. Includes a new Preface by the author. 8 line drawings.
