«Gaia, una nueva visión de la vida sobre la Tierra» is the popular science essay by James Lovelock, published by Ediciones Orbis in hardback.
Lovelock argues that the Earth behaves as a self-regulating system in which living beings, the atmosphere, the oceans and the soil interact to maintain conditions favourable to life. With an accessible approach, the author gathers evidence from different disciplines and proposes a new way of understanding the planet and humanity's place in it.
Spanish translation of the original «Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth» (1979). This hardback edition, 185 pages, was published in 1985 within the Biblioteca de Divulgación Científica collection.
For non-specialist readers with an interest in ecology, science and the environment, and for those who want to learn the foundations of the Gaia hypothesis.
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.
