We Belong to Gaia

Description

In 20 short books, Penguin Classics brings you the new canon of great environmental works.

Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As humans have driven the living planet to the brink of collapse, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend it. Their words have endured, becoming the classics that define the environmental movement today.

Here, James Lovelock draws on decades of wisdom to lay out the history of our remarkable planet, to show that it is not ours to be exploited - and warns us that it is fighting back.

We Belong to Gaia encapsulates Lovelock’s profound insights and serves as a compelling call to awareness and action.

About the Author

James Lovelock (b. 1919) is an independent scientist and father of the Gaia Hypothesis, which sees the Earth as a single self-regulating system that sustains all life, from the surface rocks and oceans to the atmosphere and humanity.
