Lenton and Watson take us on a historical journey, discussing topics such as how life evolved, reconciling the Gaia, and how we might steer the future of planet towards success. They describe the Earth’s revolutions and show the fundamental interdependence of the evolved life and its non-living environment.
They even suggest that our actions may be the start of another great Earth system revolution – one that might not necessarily be successful.
While this book is firmly aimed at scientists in the field of Earth system science, it remains an accessible and enjoyable read for the wider scientific community.
