Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anatomy of Gaia presents revelations of analogies between human beings and planet Earth. The topic is the multifaceted common blueprint of human existence and the Earth. The book, divided into 7 chapters that dovetail with one another, abounds with scientific evidence of analogies between- human anatomy and geomorphology;- the history of Western civilization and the human digestive system;- types of bone cells and classes of rocks;- human embryonic development and the formation of Earth and- the ensuing Continental Fusion Hypothesis;- analogies between the cell and the Earth - analogies between the Central Nervous System and Political map of the world. The above similarities are also viewed in the light of the Old Testament and its archetypes and stories that offer additional insights and parallels. In this one-of-a-kind book, astonishing parallels between man and the Earth are revealed and substantiated for the first time. If carefully read, it will revolutionize the way you experience yourself and the Earth, as you will realize the truth and depth of the claim: Earth and Man are embedded in each other in their physical and morphological features, their systems and the way they evolved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the biosphere really is a single coherent system, then it must have something like a physiology. It must have systems and processes that perform living functions. In Gaia's Body, Tyler Volk describes the environment that enables the biosphere to exist, various ways of looking at its "anatomy" and "physiology", the major biogeographical regions such as rainforests, deserts, and tundra, the major substances the biosphere is made of, and the chemical cycles that keep it in balance. He then looks at the question of whether there are any long-term trends in the earth's evolution, and examines the role of humanity in Gaia's past and future. Both adherents and sceptics have often been concerned that Gaia theory contains too much goddess and too few verifiable hypotheses. This is the book that describes, for scientists, students, and lay readers alike, the theory's firm basis in science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The book is full of empathetic, insightful, and often very funny portraits of Margulis, Lovelock, and a community of other figures associated with Gaia.” —Carla Nappi, New Books in Science, Technology, and Society In 1965 English scientist James Lovelock had a flash of insight: the Earth is not just teeming with life; the Earth, in some sense, is life. He mulled this revolutionary idea over for several years, first with his close friend the novelist William Golding, and then in an extensive collaboration with the American scientist Lynn Margulis. In the early 1970s, he finally went public with the Gaia hypothesis, the idea that everything happens for an end: the good of planet Earth. Lovelock and Margulis were scorned by professional scientists, but the general public enthusiastically embraced Lovelock and his hypothesis. In The Gaia Hypothesis, philosopher Michael Ruse, with his characteristic clarity and wit, uses Gaia and its history, its supporters and detractors, to illuminate the nature of science itself. Gaia emerged in the 1960s, a decade when authority was questioned and status and dignity stood for nothing, but its story is much older. Ruse traces Gaia’s connection to Plato and a long history of goal-directed and holistic—or organicist—thinking and explains why Lovelock and Margulis’s peers rejected it as pseudoscience. But Ruse also shows why the project was a success. He argues that Lovelock and Margulis should be commended for giving philosophy firm scientific basis and for provoking important scientific discussion about the world as a whole, its homeostasis or—in this age of global environmental uncertainty—its lack thereof. “[Ruse’s] treatment is thought-provoking and original, as you would expect from this perceptive, irrepressible philosopher of biology.” —New Scientist
