Lovelock James

Summary

James Lovelock: Novacen: The Coming Age of Hyperintelligence

English chemist, physician, environmentalist and futurist (James Lovelock) best known for putting forward the Gaia hypothesis, the idea that all life on Earth is part of an entity that regulates the Earth's surface and atmospheric processes. He was among the first to highlight the effect of carbon dioxide as harmful to the environment and warned of global warming due to the greenhouse effect.

He graduated in chemistry from the University of Manchester and received a doctorate in medicine and biophysics from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He worked at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in London, at Harvard University where he worked on cryopreservation and at Yale University where he invented an electron capture detector that was first used to measure the presence of the pesticides DDT, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in food and the atmosphere. While designing scientific instruments for NASA, he developed the Gaia hypothesis. He wrote several environmental science books based on the Gaia hypothesis, the most important of which are: Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth (1979), The Great Extinction (1983), The Vanishing Face of Gaia: Final Warning (2000).
