The Vanishing Face Of Gaia: A Final Warning (Updated Edition)

'The most influential scientist and writer since Charles Darwin' Irish Times

'The Earth guru' Sunday Times

James Lovelock's Gaia theory, the idea that our planet is a living, self-regulating system, has transformed the way we see our planet and what is now happening to it.

In this book he distils a lifetime's wisdom and observation of the Earth to reveal the rate at which our climate is altering, how conventional 'green' measures are not working, and how life as we know it is going to change forever. Only Gaia, he shows, can help us fully understand this, and prepare us for the future.

'Supremely life-affirming … The definitive statement of the Gaia theory and its implications for the future' John Gray, Literary Review

'Exhilarating … Lovelock is the closest thing we have to an Old Testament prophet' John Carey, Sunday Times

'Gripping, convincing and indeed terrifying' Michael McCarthy, Independent

'Lovelock's writing has enormous warmth and vitality … we need scientists such as him' Fiona Harvey, Financial Times
