Abstract
"The Gaia hypothesis is first of all a serious scientific theory, suggested in the mid '70s in several papers by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis, and seriously set forth in 1979 by Lovelock in his book Gaia: A New Look at Life. A mark of the seriousness with which the theory has been taken is that the American Geophysical Union, an international association of geologists and geochemists, devoted its entire 1988 conference to discussion of the idea. At that meeting, though the idea received vigorous criticism, it received equally vigorous support, and continues as a fertile hypothesis linking the concerns of those who study the earth with the concerns of those who study its life.
