Sentimental nonsense
|
|
Nature is simply indifferent to our fate: it is neither malicious, nor benevolent. If humanity's time is up, it's up. We won't be the first species to die, nor the last. Let the polar bears look after themselves. Carpe diem.

This book served as my introduction to the concept of Gaia. A friend suggested I should read it and politely I agreed. Quite simply, Lovelock's arguement makes a lot of sense and the messages conveyed within the volume should be considered by all. Especially politicians and (well meaning) greens. Only this week the news was dominated by debate regarding a new fossil fuel power station. This book clearly explains why this must not happen (ever) and presents the alternatives available now and those that will become so in our lifetimes. Lovelock really puts current environmental issues into context. An excellent read and with content that will touch the lives of every human being, present and future. READ THIS BOOK!
