Author Description

Man, according to the author, stands at a critical moment in his history, when he must reassess his relationship with the web of interactions that make up the total lifeform of the planet. This lifeform he calls Gaia, after the Earth-mother goddess of the Greeks, a being whose concern is solely for the survival of the planet itself. The author argues that we are now provoking the goddess' wrath by technology and the destruction of the natural balance and harmony of the Earth. In "The Quest for Gaia", the author suggests practical ways in which each one of us can change his or her way of life to halt the technological Behemoth - and live again in harmony with the lifeform of which we are a part. His book is a challenge to recapture a rewarding and sustainable future for ourselves and our planet.
