Présentation de l'éditeur
James Lovelock tells the fascinating story of his life as an independent scientist and how he came to develop his inventions and theories. He has filed more than 50 patents, including one for the electron capture detector that was important in the development of environmental awareness, in connection with both the detection of pesticide residues in the environment and the discovery of the global distribution of CFCs. He also tells us about the work he has done for organizations such as NASA, the Ministry of Defence, The Marine Biological Association, and many companies such as Shell and Hewlett Packard. From his childhood days in east London to a job as a lab assistant - his first crucial steps to becoming a scientist, from chemistry at Manchester University to the Medical Research Council during World War II, his voyage to the Arctic, taking his family to America, returning to England and fighting to save the ozone layer, his quest for gaia, then into the nineties and a stream of awards, including a CBE from the Queen. James Lovelock has led a fulfilling life and has been widely recognized by the international scientific community.
Revue de presse
"There is much more than science in this book....This is ultimately an uplifting book about the way life ought to be, both at a personal and at a global level." --Sunday Times
His Gaia hypothesis is certainly heroic, with all the illusion-busting potential of Gallileo s or Einstein s theories. --The Independent
The scientist who, more than any other alive today, has changed the way we think of the earth and our place on it. --John Gray, 'New Statesman'
