Drawing together the many influences which shaped his life and thinking, The Many Lives of James Lovelock is a unique biography of one of the most important scientists of the modern age and the father of Gaia Theory.

Based on over eighty hours of interviews with Lovelock and unprecedented access to his personal papers and scientific archive, Jonathan Watts has written a definitive and revelatory biography of the fascinating, sometimes contradictory man who changed the way we see the world.
