Lynn Margulis, and her son, the writer Dorion Sagan, here present a selection from their many essays that have been published. Margulis's proposal that eukaryotic cells (the cells of all multicellular animals and plants) are made up of symbiotic unions of more primitive cells was at first widely derided but is now mainstream science. She has described the previously unrecognize...(展开全部)

In this classic work that continues to inspire its many readers, James Lovelock deftly explains his idea that life on earth functions as a single organism. Written for the non-scientist, Gaia is a journey through time and space in search of evidence with which to support a new and radically different model of our planet. In contrast to conventional belief that living matter is...(展开全部)

作者簡介 布魯諾．拉圖（Bruno Latour） 1947年出生於法國知名酒鄉伯恩（Beaune）。哲學是拉圖最初接受的學術訓練，之後於非洲服役期間對人類學產生濃厚興趣，並曾在象牙海岸從事田野工作。1975-1977年間，他在加州的沙克研究所（Salk Institute）進行參與觀察，充分運用民族誌方法。1979年，與社會學家伍爾加（Steve Woolgar）合著《實驗室的生活》（Laboratory Life），乃上述調查的具體成果，也是新興學術領域「科技研究」（STS）的奠基之作。1982年起，拉圖任職於巴黎高等礦冶學院的創新社會學研究中心（CSI）。在CSI他與同僚發展並奠定「行動者網絡理論」（Actor-network Theory）的基礎。在2005年底從CSI轉至巴黎政治大學（Sciences Po.）的組織社會學研究中心（CSO）...(展开全部)

The emergence of modern sciences in the seventeenth century profoundly renewed our understanding of nature. For the last three centuries new ideas of nature have been continually developed by theology, politics, economics, and science, especially the sciences of the material world. The situation is even more unstable today, now that we have entered an ecological mutation of unp...(展开全部)

The Earth, James Lovelock proposes, behaves as if it were a superorganism, made up from all the living things and from their material environment. When he first sketched out his brilliant Gaia theory in the 1970s, people around the world embraced it; within a short time Gaia has moved from the margins of scientific research to the mainstream. James Lovelock argues that such thi...(展开全部)

Lovelock presents the theory that the earth is a living organism and draws expertly from chemistry, biology, geology, paleontology, physics, and meteorology that life has evolved not just by adapting to its surroundings but by taking control of them and remaking them into an immense life-sustaining organism.
