"Animate Earth represents systems science at its best. . . gives a whole new dimension to what `environment-friendly' really means." --Jonathon Porritt
"This is a wonderful and beautiful book, a teacher's treasure." --James Lovelock, author of The Revenge of Gaia
"This book offers a brilliant new approach - at once rigorous, experiential, and intuitive--to the most up-to-date research within planetary ecology." --David Abram, author of The Spell of the Sensuous
"The conception of the Earth as a living, self-organising system, known today as Gaia theory, is an ancient idea and yet one of the most radical and far-reaching scientific theories of the 20th century. In this remarkable book, Stephan Harding, who has worked closely with James Lovelock, tells the story in a way that is scientifically sophisticated, yet easy to understand and captivating. Harding writes about Gaia with great passion, and he eloquently discusses the theory's philosophical, social and political implications. I recommend Animate Earth to everyone concerned about the fate of our planet." --Fritjof Capra, author of The Hidden Connections, The Web of Life, and The Tao of Physics
