Sobre este artículo
NY: W.W. Norton, 1988. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine/Near fine. A book that updates Lovelock's (and Lynn Margulis's) Gaia theory--that the earth is a self-regulating, organismal "living whole"--ten years after it was first presented. As the jacket describes, "In less than ten years, amid great controversy, the Gaia theory has moved from the margins of scientific research to become the subject of international conferences ... [this book] gives us the hard-won results of these years, and fills out the sketch of Gaia into a full picture of its history and current health." A near fine book with fading to board edges in a near fine price-clipped, very 80s-hip jacket with fading to spine and some light scratches to rear.

Sobre Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
