Homage to Gaia The Life of an Independent Scientist

James Lovelock is a scientist who chose to do space research from his home & who worked there with dangerous chemicals? He has been doing this for the past 35 years & has produced world-class science. His work has led to the founding of the Green Movement & the way we think about the Earth. His invention of the Electron Capture Detector, the most sensitive chemical detector of its time, told us pesticides & other harmful chemicals were everywhere & that we were polluting on a global scale. His discovery that CFCs were accumulating in the Earth's atmosphere led to the realization that the ozone layer was in danger. Most important was his quest for Gaia, a revolutionary idea that has changed forever the way we see the Earth.Lovelock, James is the author of 'Homage to Gaia The Life of an Independent Scientist', published 2000 under ISBN 9780756774875 and ISBN 075677487X.
