Gaia in Turmoil

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Check out the new book “Gaia in Turmoil” by Eillen Crist and Bruce Rinker. ACS endorses it on the jacket.

“Forty years since Lovelock’s ‘living Earth’ was born, Gaia in Turmoil is one timely collection that defines where Gaia is today and its implications for climate change, biodiversity, education, and ethics. Like its science, Gaia in Turmoil is ‘one grand organic whole.’ A must read for anyone chasing the big picture.” —C. Josh Donlan, Director, Advanced Conservation Strategies.
