Healing Gaia Practical Medicine for the Planet

By applying medical science to our planet as a whole, Lovelock, visionary creator of the Gaia theory that the earth acts as a single living organism, gives us an exciting new way of understanding the frailties & strengths of planet earth. Here he expands his original concept to ask perhaps the most pressing question of all: if the planet is alive,what is its health? In answering, he explores the real effects of the threats we hear so much about: acid rain, deforestation, ozone depletion, the widespread extinction of species, & so on. Finally he provides guidelines for a healthy global environment that will ensure the future of our species.
