He Knew He Was Right: The Irrepressible Life Of James Lovelock

'As a one-stop source on the life and works of one of the greatest figures of twentieth-century thought, this book is unmissable; the Gribbins are the best science writers around' BBC Focus

Visionary, inventor, radical, free thinker and groundbreaking scientist, James Lovelock is the father of Gaia theory - the idea that our planet is a self-regulating organism - and a prophet whose prophecies are coming true.

The definitive, authorized biography traces how Lovelock became a scientific icon, and how his word helped up understand the changes happening to our environment. It also tells the story of a man who disliked authority all his life, a conscientious objector who once sold his own blood to support his family, whose early research included cryogenics and identifying the hole in the ozone layer, and who broke free from the establishment to become an independent scientist, eventually reshaping our view of the Earth.
