Scientists on Gaia is a multidisciplinary exploration of this controversial hypothesis, which was introduced by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis in the early 1970s. Forty-four contributions detail the philosophical, empirical, and theoretical foundations of Gaia, mechanisms through which planet-wide homeostasis could occur, applicability of the hypothesis to planets other than Earth, possible destabilization by outside forces, and public policy implications.Stephen H. Schneider, a climatologist, is Senior Scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado. Penelope J. Boston, a biologist, is a founder of Complex Systems Research, Lafayette, Colorado.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68175726051616,"sku":"USED0262193108","price":27.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51DdPZEFfyL.jpg?v=1794063283","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/scientists-on-gaia-0262193108-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
