«Gaia: the practical science of planetary medicine» is the scientific essay by James Lovelock, published by Gaia Books in hardback.
James Lovelock argues that the Earth, the oceans and the atmosphere form a self-regulating organism through feedback. He examines the health of that system and presents geophysiology, or planetary medicine, as a tool to diagnose its imbalances and propose treatments, with a reflection on human impact on the planet.
Original 1991 edition; the work includes a bibliography and an index.
Aimed at readers interested in the Gaia hypothesis, geobiology, and ecologically informed reflection with a scientific basis.
James Ephraim Lovelock was an English independent scientist, environmentalist and futurist. He is best known for proposing the Gaia hypothesis, which postulates that the Earth functions as a self-regulating system.
