He Knew He Was Right: The Irrepressible Life of James Lovelock and Gaia
Visionary, inventor, radical, free thinker and soon-to-be space
traveller, Jim Lovelock is an iconic figure in British science, and
a prophet whose prophecies are now coming true.
This is his definitive, authorized biography.
Lovelock is best known as the 'father' of Gaia theory, the idea of
our planet as a self-regulating organism, which is now established
as the most useful way of understanding the dramatic changes
happening to the environment of the Earth. But
few people know about his early work as a chemist and inventor –
work which included inventing the detectors used to search for life
on Mars, and blowing the whistle on the depletion of the ozone
layer. In his personal life, he was a Quaker and
conscientious objector in the Second World War (later changing his
mind in view of the evils of Nazism), supported his family for a
time by selling his own blood, and gave up a salary and security to
become an independent scientist based in an English village – from
which all his best-known work emerged.
As Lovelock approaches his ninetieth birthday, looking forward to
flying into the stratosphere in a rocket, this book truly reveals
an independent, original and inspiring life.
