In 1972, James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis began collaborating on
the Gaia hypothesis. They suggested that over geological time, life
on Earth has had a major role in both producing and regulating its
own environment. Gaia is now an ecological and environmental
worldview underpinning vital scientific and cultural debates over
environmental issues. Their ideas have transformed the Earth and
life sciences, as well as contemporary conceptions of nature. Their
correspondence describes these crucial developments from the
inside, showing how their partnership proved decisive for the
development of the Gaia hypothesis. Clarke and Dutreuil provide
historical background and explain the concepts and references
introduced throughout the Lovelock-Margulis correspondence, while
highlighting the major landmarks of their collaboration within the
sequence of almost 300 letters written between 1970 and 2007. This
book will be of interest to researchers in ecology, history of
science, environmental history and climate change, and cultural
science studies.
