«The Revenge of Gaia» is James Lovelock's environmental science essay, published by Penguin Books in paperback (240 pages, in English).
Lovelock warns that humanity has exploited the Earth for millennia and that Gaia, understood as a living system, is already responding to accumulated damage. The melting of the ice caps and rising global temperatures are bringing civilisation to a point of no return, although the author proposes a 'sustainable retreat' to save part of humanity.
The full subtitle is 'Why the Earth is Fighting Back and How We Can Still Save Humanity'. Published on 22 February 2007.
For readers interested in ecology, environmental science and climate change, including university students.
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.
